Biman resumes Doha flight on Sept 7
DHAKA, Sept 3, 2020 (BSS) – Biman Bangladesh Airlines has decided
to resume its flight operation on Dhaka-Doha-Dhaka route from
September 7 after more than five months as the popular middle-eastern
destination was suspended for containing COVID-19 pandemic outbreak in
March.
The national flag carrier announced reopening of the route by
issuing a press release today without detailing how many flights will
be operated to the capital of Qatar initially.
When contacted a Biman official said that flight detail is likely
to be uploaded at Biman’s website tomorrow.
On Aug 31, the private carrier US-Bangla airlines resumed its
operation to Doha with two weekly flights while on Wednesday it
decided to operate three weekly flights on the route from September 9
considering the passengers’ high demand.
On March 21, the CAAB first imposed a ban on commercial
international flight operation to and from 10 countries – Qatar,
Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Malaysia, Oman and
Singapore – due to the pandemic.
