The first charter flight carrying more than 340 Chinese nationals evacuated from conflict-hit Sudan arrived in Beijing on Saturday morning.

The passengers took the flight from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday night. They are among the 817 Chinese evacuees that had arrived at Jeddah Islamic Port by Thursday, according to Yin Lijun, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

The Chinese government is studying the possibility of arranging more charter flights, Yin told China Media Group.

More than 1,300 Chinese nationals have been safely evacuated from Sudan since the Chinese Embassy in Sudan issued a notice for evacuation, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry on Thursday. It added that there are still a small number of Chinese nationals in Sudan and the Chinese government will provide every possible assistance to them.
