<p>Pakistan is a priority for the UK Government. We have been working closely with
the Government of Pakistan and airlines to ensure British Nationals can return home
from Pakistan. The UK Government has announced two rounds of special charter flights
from Pakistan to bring home British travellers and their direct dependents, operated
by Qatar Airways. The first round of flights were between 21 and 27 April, including
seven from Islamabad and three from Lahore, to London Heathrow and Manchester. Following
high demand for these flights, there will be a second round of nine direct charter
flights from 30 April, including one from Karachi.</p><p>We cannot provide an accurate
figure for those currently registered for HMG charter flights because many passengers
have registered more than once, have already returned by commercial flights or no
longer want to return to the UK.</p>
