The U.S. State Department said Tuesday it was facilitating charter flights from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Jordan for American citizens stranded in the region after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran.
The department said it had answered calls from nearly 3,000 U.S. citizens in the Middle East.
Hundreds of thousands of travelers were stranded in the region or had their flights diverted when airspace closed on Saturday.
"Commercial aviation options remain available in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman and Egypt, and the department is actively helping American citizens book those tickets," it said in a statement. "For those in countries lacking commercial aviation availability, the department is facilitating travel to third countries as conditions allow. That includes increasing ground transportation options for American citizens wishing to leave Israel."
Several airlines resumed a small number of flights from the UAE Monday, according to the Associated Press.
As of Tuesday, 77% of flights in and out of Dubai's Airport, the second busiest in the world, were canceled, and 82% of Emirates' flights and 79% of FlyDubai's flights had been canceled, according to FlightAware.
