- UK evacuation flights from Wadi Saeedna airfield due to end on Saturday, April 29
- British nationals and their immediate family who have existing eligibility still wishing to leave should make their way to the airfield near Khartoum by 1200 Sudan time tomorrow
- The UK government remains committed to supporting British nationals
Following the longest and largest evacuation effort of any Western country, the final UK evacuation flight from Wadi Saeedna airfield near Khartoum is due to leave on Saturday (April 29) due to declining demand for seats.
Those still in Sudan who wish to leave, meet the eligibility criteria and judge it safe to travel to the airfield, should be there by 1200 Sudan time tomorrow to be processed for the last flight.
It marks the end of a successful evacuation operation with 1,573 people evacuated so far since flights started on Tuesday 25th April, the vast majority of them British nationals and their eligible dependents.
The government has decided to end the flights tomorrow because of a decline in demand, as well as the risk of renewed conflict in Sudan.
The UK has set up a limited consular presence at Port Sudan to signpost British nationals to available options for departure.
We will also continue to press all diplomatic levers to secure a long term ceasefire and end to the bloodshed in Sudan. Ultimately a stable transition to civilian rule is the best way to protect the security and prosperity of the Sudanese people.
