State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism Md Mahbub Ali said on Wednesday the operation of Biman Bangladesh Airlines flights on the Dhaka-Rome-Dhaka route would begin very soon to ensure smooth travel for the Bangladeshi expatriates in Italy, reports BSS.

"The national flag carrier will operate flights on Dhaka-Rome-Dhaka route as soon as possible", an official release quoted the state minister as saying.

The state minister said this when Deputy Minister for Water Resources AKM Enamul Huq Shamim made a courtesy call on him at his Secretariat Office in Dhaka.

"Biman has the scope to operate its flight at least two days in a week to ease the travel of Bangladeshis living in Italy," said AKM Shamim who also handed over a Demi-Official (DO) letter to the state minister.
