<p>Our objective remains to bring home British travellers who want to return to the
UK, as soon as possible. From the outset, our priority for the charter flight programme
has been getting British travellers home. But after we launched the charter flight
programme, it became clear that there were people with Indefinite Leave to Remain
(ILR) who normally reside in the UK and wanted to get back, particularly in India
and Pakistan. Where possible, we are working to help vulnerable UK residents with
ILR provided that they have lived in the UK within the last year. This is beyond the
scope of our standard consular assistance, where such assistance is usually just for
British nationals, but these are exceptional times.</p>
