UPDATE 2-Britain, U.S. working with Saudis to repatriate citizens

(Updates infection and death numbers)

RIYADH, March 28 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabian Airlines will
begin exceptional commercial flights this week to bring British
nationals and their families back to the United Kingdom, and
similar flights are being arranged for U.S. citizens to return
home, both countries said.

Flights to London Heathrow will begin on Sunday from Riyadh
and later in the week from Jeddah and Dammam, according to a
British Embassy e-mail sent late on Friday. A second Riyadh
flight is also expected.

The U.S. Embassy said in a consular e-mail on Saturday it
was working with the Saudi authorities to arrange repatriation
flights on a commercial airline, but no flights had been
confirmed yet.

Saudi Arabia suspended all international passenger flights
in and out of the country for two weeks starting March 14 to try
to contain the spread of the coronavirus around the globe, but
there is no indication normal travel will resume on Sunday.

The kingdom recorded 99 new cases on Saturday, taking its
total to more than 1,200 coronavirus infections - the most in
the Gulf Arab region - with four fatalities.

Britain has recorded more than 14,500 cases, including Prime
Minister Boris Johnson and heir to the throne Prince Charles,
with 759 deaths. More than 1,500 Americans have
been killed among over 100,000 reported infections, the most of
any country.

The British Embassy in the United Arab Emirates said on
Twitter that 32 Britons had departed on Saturday morning on a
flydubai flight with a connection to London, and that it was
working with UAE authorities and airlines to arrange more
flights amid similar travel restrictions there.
