Since April 5, 2021, Bangladesh has banned all passenger flights that took off in Europe. According to NOTAM, only the United Kingdom is excluded from this. The measure is expected to last until April 12, 2021. Air traffic within the country is temporarily completely prohibited.

Apart from a few exceptions, for example for medical reasons or cargo, all commercial flight movements within Bangladesh are prohibited. This expressly also includes charter and general aviation. The country wants to restrict the population's ability to move, because a so-called lockdown is carried out during the same period.

The international passenger flights are banned from numerous countries, including all of Europe - with the exception of the UK. It is currently not foreseeable whether the tough measures will actually be lifted on April 12, 2021 or whether they will be extended. The government wants to get the latest corona wave under control with tough lockdown measures.
