Jakarta. Indonesia has successfully repatriated all of its citizens stranded in the United Arab Emirates following weeks of flight disruptions triggered by regional security tensions, with the last three Indonesians departing Abu Dhabi on March 15.

The Indonesian Embassy in Abu Dhabi (KBRI Abu Dhabi) and the Consulate General in Dubai (KJRI Dubai) reported that a total of 128 Indonesians had been affected since international flights were temporarily suspended on Feb. 28. Of that number, 125 had already managed to leave the UAE earlier, either returning home or continuing to other destinations.

“The final three stranded Indonesians have now departed for Indonesia from Zayed International Airport in Abu Dhabi on an Etihad Airways flight,” the Indonesian representatives said in a statement.

Authorities confirmed that the coordinated assistance effort, led by the embassy and consulate, has now concluded, marking the full resolution of the repatriation process.

One of the affected Indonesians, Fadila, expressed appreciation for the assistance provided during the ordeal.

“I truly appreciate the various efforts made by the Indonesian Embassy in handling the situation faced by Indonesians stranded in Abu Dhabi,” she said.

“I would like to thank and commend the embassy and the local authorities for accompanying and supporting us throughout our time stranded in Abu Dhabi.”

Indonesian officials are now urging citizens in the UAE to remain vigilant as the regional situation evolves.

“We urge all Indonesians in the UAE, including ship crew members, to stay alert, monitor official updates, and maintain communication with the nearest Indonesian mission,” the statement said.

They also called on Indonesians to report their presence to Indonesian representatives to ensure faster assistance if needed.

In case of emergency, Indonesians in Abu Dhabi can contact the embassy hotline at +971 56 615 6259, while those in Dubai can reach the consulate at +971 56 332 2611 or +971 56 417 0333.
