The Australian High Commission in Dhaka has planned to arrange a special flight to return 120 of its citizens, stranded in Bangladesh amidst the coronavirus crisis, home on June 13.
"The flight will require a minimum of 120 passengers. If we reach this number, then the flight will depart Dhaka on June 13," said the High Commission on Wednesday, reports UNB.
The High Commission has emailed everyone, who had registered with them, with details of the proposed third special flight from the country.
Earlier on May 16, the Australian High Commission in Dhaka said that they need to reschedule the special flight, which was initially scheduled for May 28.
The High Commission said they would provide further details to everyone who has confirmed their interest in the third flight as soon as they can confirm them.
The flight is only open to Australian passport holders, Australian permanent visa holders, and their spouses, legal guardians or children, the High Commission said.
The first specially arranged flight to return Australian nationals home departed Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on April 16 with 285 passengers.
The second special flight to Australia left Dhaka on May 9 with 220 Australian nationals.
