Four special flights will be operated from Dhaka to London between April 21 and 26 to take back British citizens and their direct dependants.
British visitors currently in Sylhet will also have the option to book domestic transfer from Sylhet to Dhaka ahead of each of these flights, said the British government.
Up to 150,000 British nationals visit Bangladesh every year. There are currently no commercial options available for them to return to the UK due to flight restrictions announced by the Bangladesh government.
British High Commissioner to Bangladesh Robert Chatterton Dickson said in a video message, "I'm very pleased to announce the start of our charter programme taking British visitors home from Bangladesh to the UK."
He said they have worked very hard to keep the cost of these flights as low as they can. "The price per head will be £600, whether you're starting from Dhaka or Sylhet."
Interested British citizens can book these flights through Corporate Travel Management (CTM) or travel management partner.
"I'm very pleased that we've this charter programme up and running. Thank you for your patience, and I'm delighted that you'll now have the opportunity to return home very soon," said the British high commissioner.
