Bahrain
« Libya | Back to most recent briefing | Libya »
On Bahrain the PMS advised that the Foreign Office had updated their travel advice. They had recommended that those people without pressing reason to remain should leave the country. The first option was via commercial routes. In addition the UK Government would be chartering planes to assist departure. There would be a charge of 260 per person.
Asked how many people were expected to take the chartered flight from Bahrain, the PMS said that he didn’t have up to date information on that but would provide an update later.
Asked how many British nationals were in Bahrain and whether the airport was safe to get to, the PMS confirmed that the airport was accessible and that there were consular staff there to help if necessary. There were thousands of British nationals in Bahrain, but it was thought that many would have left in the last few days and weeks.
