The two Edelweiss planes left Muscat and Salalah and are expected to arrive in Zurich at 4.30pm and 6.30pm respectively. There are 215 Swiss nationals on board, a spokesperson for the airline told the Keystone-SDA news agency on Saturday.

The special flights are being organised in coordination with the Swiss foreign ministry, which says they are aimed at travellers stranded in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

Thousands of Swiss nationals are blocked in various Gulf states as a result of the US-Israeli offensive against Iran. Earlier this week, on Thursday afternoon, a special flight from Muscat operated by Swiss International Air Lines landed in Zurich with 211 Swiss on board.
