58 more British citizens of Bangladesh-origin, who are currently staying in Dhaka, will leave for Manchester, England today (May 10). A special flight of Novoair Airline brought them to Dhaka from Sylhet at 9am, said an official of Novoair.
Later on, these British citizens will leave Dhaka for England by a chartered flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines.
Earlier on 18 April, the British High Commission announced four charter flights from Bangladesh will take 850 British nationals to the United Kingdom.
The UK government committed up to £75 million to help thousands of British people return home, according to British High Commission in Dhaka.
The British High Commission here remains fully operational and “we will continue to provide full consular support to British nationals in Bangladesh.”
So far, 1800 British nationals have left Bangladesh for the UK by 9 chartered flights from April 21 to May 7.
