Biman operates extra flight to repatriate stranded Bangladeshis from Nepal

Biman Bangladesh
Airlines will operate an extra flight to bring back Bangladeshi passengers
stranded in Nepal after the suspension of flights earlier this week amid
political unrest in Kathmandu.
"Passengers
of Biman Bangladesh Airlines who were scheduled to travel on 09 and 10
September from Kathmandu to Dhaka, but could not depart due to unavoidable
circumstances, may avail themselves of the extra Biman flight BG374," the
Bangladesh Embassy in Kathmandu said in an urgent notice.
The
special flight is scheduled to depart Tribhuvan International Airport at 17:45
hours (local time) today. All affected passengers had been advised to report to
the airport by 14:30 hours, said the embassy.
Biman also resumed its regular Dhaka-Kathmandu-Dhaka operations today following
a two-day suspension.
"The
regular flight departed Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 12:30 pm this
afternoon," Biman General Manager (Public Relations) A B M Rowshan Kabir
told BSS.
Flights
between Dhaka and Kathmandu were disrupted on 9 and 10 September after the
Nepalese authorities temporarily suspended all international operations in the
face of escalating protests by youth groups demanding political reforms.
The
suspension left many foreign travellers, including Bangladeshi nationals,
stranded in the Himalayan capital.
