Passenger shortage; Biman forced to cancel flights

Due to lack of passengers, Biman Bangladesh Airlines has cancelled all of its flights scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday on the third day of resumption of regular flight operations.

With this, Biman cancelled 46 flights from June 1 to June 4, said Tahera Khandaker, deputy general manager (PR) of Biman.

She said, "On June 1, Biman was supposed to operate 12 flights on three routes, but two flights were operated for shortage of passengers."

After more than two months of suspension amid the Covid-19 pandemic, domestic flights operation resumed on Dhaka-Chattogram, Dhaka-Sylhet and Dhaka-Syedpur routes on a limited scale maintaining all health rules from June 1.

Biman was supposed to operate 12 round flights on three routes on daily basis.
