Fund free air travel to the UK for Ukrainian refugees

Closed 369 signatures

What the petition asks

More than 3 million people (mainly women and children) have fled Ukraine to neighbouring and other countries, many with nothing but the clothes on their back. Those who receive permission to come to the UK should be able to fly to the UK for free. The Government should pay to fund this.
At the start of March, one airline announced support for Ukrainian refugees by providing free seats from neighbouring countries. It is important the Government takes action to make sure any Ukrainian refugee who has received permission to come to the UK has access to free air travel.
