US arranges chartered flight to take its willing citizens from Bangladesh

The US Department of State and US Embassy in Dhaka have arranged a special chartered flight for US citizens and their families.

The special flight will be departing from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on Monday.

This flight will include a Dhaka to Doha, Qatar leg and an onward connecting flight to Dulles International Airport, Washington, D.C., said the US Embassy in Dhaka.

Passengers will remain on the airplane in Doha.

All passengers must agree to reimburse the U.S. Government for the flight by signing a promissory note for approximately the amount of a full-fare economy flight, or comparable alternate transportation, to the designated destination that would have been charged immediately prior to this crisis, said the Embassy.

This form must be signed and presented before boarding.

No cash or credit card payments will be accepted at the airport.

"You will be responsible for any arrangements or costs (lodging, onward destination or local transportation, etc.) beyond Washington, D.C. The U.S. Embassy is unable to book any onward travel for you. The exact departure time and routing of this chartered flight are subject to change," said the Embassy.
