Dhaka, Delhi want to launch air bubble soon

Bangladesh and India want to resume flight operations through a special "air bubble" arrangement "as soon as possible" after finalising the "technicalities," reports UNB.

Both sides are finalising the technicalities including frequency of flights and relevant issues, an official told the news agency.

An air bubble is a bilateral arrangement with a set of regulations and restrictions allowing the carriers of two countries operate international flights. The Indian High Commission in Dhaka has already announced the resumption of online visa application services for Bangladeshis.

Visa categories currently allowed are medical, business, employment, entry, journalist, diplomatic, official, UN official and UN diplomatic.
