Repatriation and Assisted-Departure Flights by Country
What is available depends on your nationality and circumstances. No currently bookable government-assisted flight from Dubai or Doha was verified for 7 September 2026 in this review. Commercial flights are available, but embassy registration does not reserve a seat or guarantee an evacuation.
Contact your embassy or consulate if you need assistance, monitor your government’s travel advisory, and use confirmed commercial options when safe. The table distinguishes verified commercial examples from assistance that has not been confirmed.

How to Get Home: What to Do Now
- Contact your embassy or consulate and subscribe to official alerts. Registration and assistance arrangements vary by country. Use the relevant official channel: India (CGI Dubai) / MADAD, UK (FCDO), US (STEP), Australia (Smartraveller), Canada (ROCA); EU and other nationals should contact their national embassy.
- Check your airline before anything else. Qatar Airways lists a fee-free change within 14 days of the original date, subject to fare availability, or a fee-free refund of unused value when a booking is affected. Other changes depend on ticket issue date, travel dates and fare rules. Use the airline app or website rather than calling unless you have an urgent need.
- Do not go to the airport without confirmation. Wait until you have a confirmed seat and departure time; showing up without one risks being turned away if your flight is not confirmed.
- Check your visa status. Stranded travellers should keep proof of their original departure booking and confirm any overstay-fine waivers directly with the relevant immigration authority.
- Track your flight. Confirm your flight is operating on the Wego Flight Tracker before heading to the terminal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are commercial flights available from Dubai and Doha?
Both have listed commercial services. Examples include Emirates Dubai–Heathrow and Qatar Airways Doha–London. These are not evacuation flights; live seats for a particular date were not independently verified.
Is it safe to fly right now?
Commercial flight availability is not a safety guarantee. Brief airspace suspensions and short-notice cancellations are possible across the Gulf, so verify your specific flight the day before you fly.
What if I cannot afford a commercial ticket?
Contact your embassy or consulate. Assistance is assessed case by case and is not guaranteed; inability to afford a fare does not automatically qualify you for a free government flight.
Qatar Airways is showing my destination — can I book?
A listed destination alone does not confirm a seat. Qatar Airways publishes a schedule covering over 160 destinations through 15 September 2026; check its travel alerts page and check again the day before you fly.
