The government has decided to start special flights to Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, and Singapore to ensure that migrant workers can reach their destinations, even though international flights have been suspended due to the "strict lockdown" that went into effect from today across the country.
The decision was taken today at an online meeting chaired by Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen, and attended by secretaries to the Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Expatriates' Welfare and Overseas Employment, Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism; Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority and Managing Director of Biman Bangladesh.
