As the number of Libya-fled Bangladeshi increased at Ras Jdir border point of Tunisia, Biman Bangladesh Airlines has decided to operate three more flights to bring back 900 people now waiting for repatriation.
The number was 589 yesterday, but it rose to 900 due to fresh inflow from Libya.
In response to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' request for more flights, Biman has decided to operate three flights from Djerba in Tunisia on April 6, 8 and 10, said a foreign ministry press release yesterday.
However, there was no new arrival of any Bangladeshi till yesterday at Al Salloum border point in Egypt.
