Dhaka-Incheon direct cargo flights launched

TAD Logistic has launched direct cargo flights between Dhaka to Incheon (South Korea).

The third flight was operated last Saturday, said a media release on Monday.

According to the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA), this fiscal year, Korea will export a diverse range of garments such as underwear, denim, shirts, jackets and pullovers worth $1 billion.

Bangladeshi entrepreneurs now have an opportunity to capture the Korean market as garment manufacturing is increasingly moving out of China due to continued cost increases, business people say.

Korea currently sources 34% of its apparel demand from Beijing.

Tad Group Managing Director, Md. Ashikur Rahman Tuhin said, " This direct flight will operate twice a week. Based on demand, we want to increase the number of flights to five per week. This will increase the export of perishable products from Bangladesh."
