Many migrant workers are still uncertain about rejoining work in Saudi Arabia anytime soon as several foreign airlines are yet to resume flights to the kingdom.
Only Biman Bangladesh Airlines and Saudia, the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, are operating direct flights to the kingdom.
Scores of desperate workers, who had returned home on vacation by other airlines, thronged the offices of Biman and Saudia in the capital over the last few days for tickets. But they couldn't get any as the two airlines are only reissuing tickets to those who already had return tickets.
These low-paid migrant workers now fear losing jobs if they fail to reach their workplaces soon.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic halted flights to Saudi Arabia, Biman and Saudia carried about 1.5 lakh passengers and several other airlines around 1.5 lakh from Bangladesh to the kingdom annually, said sources in the sector.
Of these airlines, Biman is now operating nine flights and Saudia eight flights a week. Kuwait Airways, Gulf Air and Etihad are yet to resume flights from Dhaka, said officials at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
