Airlines operating in Bangladesh will start setting their prices in taka as of July of this year, according to a recent statement from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism.
"Bangladeshi airlines use the respective country's currency as Head Line Currency in the sales centre located outside the country in case of flight operations to international destinations. Besides, different countries of the world use their own currency as Head Line Currency," said the ministry circular, issued on April 16.
"In this context, domestic currency i.e. Bangladeshi taka has been set as Head Line Currency in determining fares for passenger and goods transportation from Bangladesh by all domestic and foreign airlines operating in Bangladesh," it added.
