Hundreds of citizens have registered for a government-organised repatriation flight from the Middle East as conflict across the region disrupts air travel and leaves travellers stranded. Foreign ministry officials say demand for the flight far exceeds available seats. The aircraft scheduled to depart on Sunday has space for about 155 to 160 passengers. More than 600 people have already expressed interest in the flight.
