The Saudi Arabian government today said citizens of other countries will be able to leave the country from now on by air.
The Middle Eastern country, however, extended suspension of flight operation to the Kingdom for another week to prevent transmission of new strain of Covid-19, sources at the Saudi Arabian Airlines Dhaka office said.
In an urgent circular, GACA today announced that airlines are permitted to carry non-Saudi passengers outside the Kingdom, taking into account precautionary measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
