Amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, 430 Bangladeshi nationals stranded in Qatar have safely returned home, confirmed Group Captain SM Ragib Samad, executive director of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

The passengers arrived on Friday night (March 13) via a special Qatar Airways flight, which also carried transit passengers and embassy staff.

Primarily, the return was delayed due to earlier flight cancellations, but the Bangladesh government coordinated with Qatari authorities to arrange a dedicated flight for the safe repatriation of its citizens.

According to the Bangladeshi embassy, priority was given to families, women, children, and the elderly. A Google Form link was shared on the embassy’s official social media to register interested passengers for the flight.
