<p>As of 10pm 12 May, more than 14,000 people have been repatriated from India on
60 flights. Between 12 and 15 May, an additional four flights are due to depart from
Amritsar and one from Ahmedabad, servicing those locations with the highest numbers
of British nationals remaining in the country. Seats on these flights are being allocated
to British people who are on waiting lists. We are reserving as many seats as possible
on the flights for vulnerable British nationals. Each registration portal has been
open for a minimum of 5 days and widely promoted, allowing sufficient time for British
nationals wishing to leave India as soon as possible to register their interest in
a flight. After this phase of flights, we anticipate that the vast majority of British
nationals remaining on the waiting list who can, and want to fly, will have returned
to the UK. We are monitoring where there are British nationals still needing to return
to the UK, and will reassess if there is need for further flights based on demand.
Consular assistance is available for British nationals who remain in India and require
support.</p>
