Ministry of Foreign Affairs secured the return of 57 Bulgarians from Israel

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Tel Aviv and Directorate “Situation Centre” managed to secure 57 seats for Bulgarian citizens on a private airline flight for October 11.

Twenty nine tourists, families with small children and citizens in particularly risky areas and humanitarian cases were successfully repatriated.

Subject to the security situation, there remains the possibility of travelling between Tel Aviv and Sofia on scheduled flights of Bulgaria Air and El Al, as well as the Haifa - Larnaca (Cyprus) ferry service.

With the realization of the above-mentioned opportunities, practically all Bulgarian citizens currently residing in Israel on a short-term basis, as well as several humanitarian cases, will be covered.

Our Embassy in Tel Aviv informs that Ben Gurion Airport continues to operate at limited capacity and various airlines operate some of their scheduled flights to other countries.

The Situation Centre Directorate of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Tel Aviv are preparing a list of Bulgarian citizens who wish to be repatriated from Israel. The list will be used for a possible future flight out of the country.
