Biman Bangladesh Airlines’ Kolkata flight has been indefinitely suspended. This decision will be effective as of next Thursday (November 12).
Biman reported this information on the bulletin board of the official website.
Biman said: ‘Biman’s Calcutta route flights have been suspended since Thursday 12 November. Details about this will be reported later.
While there is no clear reason for the flight suspension, many also blame the passenger crisis on the Kolkata route for keeping tourist visas in India closed at the moment.
Previously, Biman had launched flights on three routes in India under the ‘Air Bubble’ package deal since October 26.
The routes are from Dhaka to Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai. These three routes have three weekly flights.
Additionally, US-Bangla Airlines, a private airline, operates flights from Dhaka to Kolkata and from Dhaka and Chittagong to Chennai.
NovoAir, meanwhile, has yet to start operating flights to India despite the permit.
AKM Mahfuzul Alam, NovoAir’s senior director of marketing and sales, told Jago News: However, the number of passengers is now much lower as tourist visas have not been introduced. So we don’t manage flights. If India introduces a tourist visa, we will operate flights on this route again.
By the way, Air India, Indigo, SpiceJet, Vistara and GoAir can operate flights under the Air Bubble Agreement.
At present, travelers from Bangladesh can enter the country for business (business visa), medical assistant visa, student (student visa), research (research), conference (conference visa), employment (employment visa) , training (qualification) visa, but tourist visa. India has suspended.
India has made it mandatory for all passengers to obtain a negative Covid-19 certificate within 72 hours of departure.
Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced the suspension of passenger flights with all countries except the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong and Thailand and on domestic routes from March 21 to 31. Another order banned flights to all countries except China until April 6.
The ban was extended to April 14, April 30, May 6, May 18, May 30 and June 15 in coordination with the holidays. For the first time since June 17, flights were allowed from Dhaka to London and Qatar. Then flights are being launched to other countries.
