A mass evacuation of 20,000 British travellers on 83 government rescue flights is to be carried out from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh by next week.
A total of 28 additional charters have been announced with a capacity for around 7,000 passengers.
The flights are in addition to 55 charters which have departed from across the region in previous weeks.
The new flights include 14 from India by May 4, nine from Pakistan and five from Bangladesh, all by May 7.
Lord Tariq Ahmad, minister of state for South Asia and the Commonwealth, said: “We have been working round the clock to ensure British people in the region can return to the UK and we have already chartered 55 flights, helping more than 12,000 Brits.
“These 28 additional flights will mean 8,000 more people are brought back to the UK from across South Asia.
“We know British travellers remain concerned about getting home to their friends and families, and we continue to do all we can to bring them back to the UK.
“British travellers should continue to monitor our travel advice for the latest information on flights and can contact our Embassies and High Commissions if they require urgent consular support.”
The addition of 28 flights will mean that more than 20,000 British travellers on 83 flights from across the region have been organised since the coronavirus crisis began.
They include more than 700 passengers from Nepal on three flights.
