Biman to release direct flights on Dhaka-Toronto route from October
Biman Bangladesh Airlines will start direct flights on Dhaka-Toronto path from October this year, said Md Mokabbir Hossain, the carrier's Managing Director and CEO.
"We'll start operating flights in the winter schedule based on the air arrangement between Bangladesh and Canada," said Hossain.
There are two schedules in international routes - winter and summer - Hossain mentioned, adding that the wintertime schedule starts in October.
In line with the air agreement, minimum three flights might be operated on the path, Hossain further mentioned.
Biman also made a great agreement with Air flow Canada, according to which, the latter will carry Biman's travellers to any destination in its network from Toronto, Canada.
So, if travellers want to visit NY from Bangladesh, they are able to go from Toronto conveniently. "If so, we'll charge the passengers for another destination to NY," said Hossain.
Biman will also release flights to Tokyo when Japan opens its international air travel way, Hossain noted, adding that Standard Sales Agent (GSA) will soon be appointed over there.
"We're likely to make an contract with Japan Airlines to carry Bangladeshi travellers to onward places from Tokyo," he added.
Among additional destinations, the Managing Director said, Biman will release flights to Chennai in addition to when India permits. GSA will get appointed in Chennai in the near future, he added.
Furthermore, steps will be taken to start flight functions from Dhaka to Guangzhou in China and Male in the Maldives in the post COVID-19 era, said Hossain.
He even more informed that Biman is ready to resume its flight operations on additional international routes where it operated flights prior to the coronavirus outbreak.
And on July 6 and 7, Biman may also release scheduled passenger flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi respectively after a three-month long flight suspension following COVID-19 pandemic.
