Biman to operate charter flight on Dhaka-Rome route

Biman Bangladesh Airlines will operate a charter flight from Dhaka to Rome from June 12 (Friday), reports UNB.
As per Bangladesh government directives, the chartered flight will carry stranded Bangladeshi nationals, who are holding valid resident cards of Italy as per list certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Embassy of Italy in Dhaka, according to a press release.
The special flight will take off from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka at 13:45 local time on Friday and arrive in Rome at 19:30 local time.
Biman has published a list of 265 passengers, and directed them to collect tickets from its sales outlets in Dhaka, Chattogram and Sylhet.
The national flag carrier has also offered chartered domestic flight services due to passenger shortage amid the coronavirus outbreak.
Bangladesh resumed its domestic flight operation on June 01 on three domestic routes from Dhaka to Chattogram, Sylhet and Syedpur after more than a two-month suspension amid Covid-19 pandemic.
Biman was forced to cancel all of its flights last week due to lack of passengers following resumption of its regular flight operations. The state-owned airlines was supposed to operate 12 round flights on three routes on daily basis.
