Biman Bangladesh Airlines has decided to reopen its flight operation to Kuwait from August 4 as well as increase flight frequency in the Dubai route from now on to weekly five flights from the existing three.
Tahera Khandaker, deputy general manager (public relations) of Biman, confirmed the matter to Dhaka Tribune on Sunday.
“We have decided to operate weekly one scheduled commercial flight in the Dhaka-Kuwait-Dhaka route on every Tuesday from August 4,” she said.
The national flag carrier is going resume flights to Kuwait as its fourth international destination following London, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi after the resumption of its nearly three months’ long flight suspension, on June 21 due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
Biman has also decided to operate five weekly flights in the Dhaka-Dubai-Dhaka destination from now on as the carrier has been operating three weekly flights in the route after relinking air connectivity between Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on July 13.
On June 21, Biman first resumed its international flight operation through weekly one flight in the Dhaka-London route by its Dreamliner 787-8 after the suspension.
Biman decided to operate international flight by ensuring social distancing in seat allocation and proper aircraft cleaning measures as per the guideline of the Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh (CAAB) as well as making modified meal service and care kits available for all passengers.
