Due to the difficult circumstances on the ground in Nepal, today I announce the Government's plans to assist Australians to depart Nepal by Australian Defence Force aircraft to Bangkok.
The timing and frequency of the flights will be subject to capacity constraints at Kathmandu airport and approval by the Nepalese Government.
Once details of the military flights are known, DFAT will advise of the process for Australians to register their interest. Highly vulnerable Australians will be given priority.
