US-Israel-Iran conflict: Why a UK charter flight for Britons failed to deport Oman on time

A charter flight arranged by the UK government to evacuate British nationals from the Middle East failed to depart as scheduled from Oman late on Wednesday, leaving passengers stranded despite hours of waiting at the airport. The development was reported by Sky News.

The aircraft had been scheduled to leave the Omani capital, Muscat, at 11pm local time on Wednesday, which corresponds to 7pm in the UK. The flight was intended to carry Britons seeking to leave the region as tensions escalate following the recent US and Israeli action against Iran and Tehran’s response, which has widened instability across parts of the Middle East.
