Bangladeshi airline to resume flights to Saudi Arabia this week

As coronavirus (COVID-19) cases continue steadily to decrease, international travel is opening back up. Biman Bangladesh Airlines will restart regular flights operating in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, based on the airline’s website.

The Kingdom welcomed back international flights on May 17, but all foreign passengers arriving in the united states must quarantine in a designated hotel for a week.

“All Saudi-bound passengers need to book their hotel quarantine before boarding,” Tahera Khandakar, the airline’s deputy managing director for pr, said in a statement.

“In this regard, any passenger who booked at the specified time is requested to get hold of the nearest aviation offices to book their hotel and schedule their next flight.”

Saudi citizens and accompanying travelers who've been fully vaccinated, are in least fourteen days past their first dose, or have recovered from COVID-19 during the past half a year will be excluded from the hotel quarantine requirement.

For all those flying to Bangladesh, government rules in place since May 1 declare that passengers must get yourself a negative PCR test certificate issued within 72 hours of the flight departure. Additionally, passengers flying from Saudi Arabia must complete 14 days of strict home quarantine.
