British Airways will operate five additional special flights to evacuate British Bangladeshis, who got stuck in Dhaka amid flight suspension with Europe to contain the spread Covid-19.
The first flight will be on April 29 and the next four flights will be on May 1, 3, 5 and 7 respectively, according to British Airways.
Earlier, around 800 stranded British nationals, most of whom are expatriate Bangladeshis residing in the UK permanently, left Dhaka by three special chartered flights of British Airways on April 21, 23 and 25.
The UK government arranged the flights in coordination with the British High Commission in Bangladesh.
