Biman to refund Saudi-bound passengers
DHAKA, Feb 27, 2020 (BSS) – Biman Bangladesh Airlines will refund to its
passengers who, bought tickets for traveling 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.
Besides, those who are already staying in the Kingdom for the purposes of
Umrah and tourism, they can return home by the regular flights of the Biman.
