Biman Bangladesh Airlines will refund to its passengers who bought tickets for travelling to Saudi Arabia for performing Umrah or tourism purposes, as the Saudi government has imposed a temporary ban on Umrah pilgrims and tourists to stop the spread of coronavirus in the Kingdom.
If the passengers want to travel to Saudi Arabia after withdrawal of the ban, they would be able to get seats, subject to availability, said a Biman press release here today.
However, the passengers who have work permits or employment visas can travel by regular flights of the national flag carrier.
