At the request of Bangladesh High Commission in London, the government of Bangladesh has arranged the second special repatriation flight to take home its citizens who have been stranded in the UK due to the suspension of international flights between Dhaka and London in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. 

The special flight will depart from terminal-2 of London Heathrow Airport at 10am.

The special flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines was originally scheduled for Dhaka to Rome on June 12 and it will be re-routed to London on her way back to Bangladesh to take home Bangladeshis, said Bangladesh High Commissioner to the UK Saida Muna Tasneem. 

She called upon all Bangladeshi citizens stranded in the UK and willing to return to Bangladesh to urgently register with the High Commission to secure their seats.
