Muscat: 419 Bangladeshis will bid farewell to Oman when they board flight 777-300 Biman Bangladesh on August 31. The fifth phase of the Vande Bharat project continues as planned with 3 shipments of Indian flights leaving Oman for two days to return to Lucknow / Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad, while the Indian Embassy in Oman has published the schedule for phase six, which will begin in September.
290 Sri Lankans will also return on a charter flight organized through the Sri Lanka Community Social Club (SLCSC).
Mohammad Tawhid, director of the Bangladesh Social Club, said Bangladeshi in Oman set up their flights and those in need. “The flight is set up with the permission of the Government of Bangladesh and coordinated through the Bangladesh Embassy in Oman. “Citizens of Bangladesh Social Club stay in the inland regions to sign up for flights, to succeed in Muscat for their flight and to establish their stay in the capital before leaving Oman.
All repatriation flights to Bangladesh serve Dhaka. The one-way ticket price costs approximately OMR 146, which is the employer’s duty to repatriated personnel in whole or in part. “The Social Club is also helping those who need it, as few others people rate their employers for their price ticket. We also have a case of stretcher on next week’s flight with a patient whose ribs fractured in an accident. Lately he’s being cured in a hospital here, but we hope to move him back safely to Bangladesh,” Tawhid added.
Roy Lasantha, president of SRCSC, informs Gulf News that repatriated citizens will have to go through a set of procedures such as mandatory PCR checks to be carried out 72 hours before Oman’s departure, followed by some other control to be carried out in Colombo or Mattala Airport, and one last one was taken after completing the mandatory 14-day institutional quarantine in Sri Lanka.
“SRCSC is helping passengers organize mandatory institutional quarantine through RCDs (destination control companies) in Sri Lanka to move through a transparent post-landing process. Once PCR verification is carried out at Sri Lankan airports, they are carried through the army to their designated quarantine points,” Lasantha adds.
