I think Wannabe Flyer gets it right in one sentence, when he says:

In other words, it's not just about people "choosing" to go there, it is mostly about people choosing to run away from there like scared rabbit. After all, nobody asks for an "evacuation" when demonstrations get interesting in France, so if people decide to overreact it's their problem after all.
On the other hand, there might be those who find it impossible in the current situation to go ahead with their plans (holiday, business, whatever it might have been) and therefore no longer have any reason to stay in the country. If regular flights back home are fully booked or unaffordable, it is a very nice gesture for the Government to organise charter flights at a reasonable cost, so if anything that's something to be welcomed.
Mind you, I haven't read the news today yet, so for all I know the **** may have hit it big time
I'll go check Google News--wonder if I'm going to have to eat my words now
