The second special chartered flight carrying stranded Bangladesh citizens is scheduled to leave New York for Dhaka on June 6.
According to the Consulate General of Bangladesh in New York, Qatar Airways has scheduled the departure of the special flight QR3458 carrying the stranded Bangladeshis on Saturday at 9 am (New York local time) from Terminal 8, JFK International Airport.
The check-in process will start four hours prior to departure time and will close one hour prior to departure.
It is estimated that the price of each economy class ticket for this flight would be approximately US$2,000.
Earlier on May 17, the first special flight carrying over 200 Bangladesh citizens arrived in Dhaka from the USA.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Bangladesh, in coordination with Bangladesh Embassy in Washington, DC and the Consulates General of Bangladesh in New York and Los Angeles, has taken the initiative to arrange the second special chartered flight of Qatar Airways to bring home stranded Bangladesh citizens from the USA.
Earlier, the Embassy and the two Consulates General circulated a notice through their websites seeking information from Bangladeshis who had been stranded in the USA amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
After this, a large number of stranded Bangladeshi citizens provided their information by email to the Bangladesh Missions showing interest to return to Bangladesh by the second special chartered flight at their own expense, as all commercial flights to Bangladesh were suspended after the outbreak of Covid-19.
