Urgent message from the British High Commissioner for all British nationals in #Bangladesh.

#COVID2019
All of us are dealing, all over the world, with an unprecedented crisis in Covid-19. And on the 17th of March the British Foreign Secretary took the unprecedented step of advising all British citizens against all non-essential travel anywhere in the world.

Since then we in the High Commission here in Dhaka have been encouraging British citizens to return to the UK as soon as they can on the commercial flights which are available. On the 27th of March the GoB and Biman announced the suspension of flights between the UK and BD.

But they also announced that those flights plan to resume on the 7th of April. So if you’re booked on those flights, or are a British citizen considering your options, I urge you now to do two things.

3/5
The first the first is to get in urgent touch with Biman or your travel agent, and make sure that if you were booked on those flights, you can be rebooked on those flights beginning again on the 7th of April.

The second thing I urge you to do is to stay in very close touch with the travel advice which we update every day. And we’ll be sure to bring you the very latest information as soon as we have it from the Government and from Biman Airlines about their plans. Thank you.
