Finland will organise a state-assisted repatriation flight from Oman to Helsinki for citizens stranded in the United Arab Emirates as fighting between the United States, Israel and Iran disrupts air travel across the Middle East. Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen said the charter flight will depart from Muscat over the coming weekend. Seats will be sold to passengers at a cost of about €2,300 each. “Those Finns who wish to leave can buy a seat on this self-funded flight,” Valtonen wrote on the social media platform X.
