Special flight to bring back stranded Bangladeshis in US

An initiative has been taken to bring back the Bangladeshis, stranded in the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a chartered flight either on 14 or 15 May.

Bangladesh embassy in Washington DC in coordination with Bangladesh Consulates in New York and Los Angeles will facilitate their return by a Qatar Airways chartered flight, said a media release issued by the Bangladesh Consulate in New York.

The flight will depart either from Dulles International Airport or John F Kennedy International Airport for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

Those who are interested to return home have been asked to complete online registration visiting http://galaxyaviationbd.com/airticket/ and buy the desired ticket as soon as possible as the flight has a limited number of seats.

The media release said the Bangladesh embassy in Washington DC is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in the USA, Argentina, Belize, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guyana and Venezuela.

Earlier, the embassy urged Bangladeshi nationals to stay in touch through 24/7 cell phone (+1-202-740-6305) for necessary support if any of them is stranded in any of these countries.
