With the second flight, the majority of stranded Bangladeshis have returned. Based on the available information on the possible resumption of commercial flights to a few destinations from Dhaka, imperative for any such special flights in future to evacuate stranded Bangladeshis from Australia has reduced significantly.
Bangladesh High Commission thanked the appropriate authorities of Bangladesh and Australia for the cooperation in organising the flight.
The earlier evacuation flight organised by the High Commission left Melbourne on May 8.
