The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) said on Wednesday that passengers from eight countries will be allowed to enter the country till 5 May.
The countries are- Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Singapore, China, and the UAE.
The special flights are allowed to operate between Bangladesh and the aforesaid eight countries, says a CAAB press release.
The airliners of the countries were also warned to not carry passengers to Dhaka from anywhere else.
Besides, the period of all special flights under special considerations has been extended to continue their operation till 5 May following the government's decision to prolong the ongoing "relaxed" lockdown for another week.
CAAB, on April 11, suspended operation of all international passenger flights to and from Bangladesh for a week from April 14 following a government order.
Later on April 15, following the suspension of international flights from April 14, the government decided to operate around 100 special flights to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, UAE, and Singapore in a week from April 17.
Later, China, Kuwait and Bahrain were added to the list of countries where special flights will be operated considering the desperation of migrants waiting to go to their workplaces.
However, the government closed the border with India for 14 days, starting on 26 April, as Covid-19 has taken a dangerous turn in the neighbouring country.
In Bangladesh, limited restrictions were in place from 5-11 April to tame the second wave of the pandemic but to no avail. Later, a one-week nationwide lockdown was enforced from 14 April, which was then extended until 28 April.
The government, however, lifted some of the restrictions, including on shops and shopping malls, and extended the ongoing "lockdown" for a week until 5 May.
The special conditions for the airliners are listed below:
