New Delhi: In an ambitious plan to double its fleet and rapidly expand its network, Biman Bangladesh today said it was aiming at operating to several Indian cities, up from two at present, and add flights to Kolkata in a few months.
Biman, Bangladesh's national carrier, plans to start double dailies from Kolkata by October-end instead of five flights a week now, to enable business travellers from both sides to do their work and return home the same day, airline's MD and CEO Kevin John Steele said here.
The airline, which now operates only to Kolkata and Delhi from Dhaka, was also considering expanding frequencies to the Indian capital and planning to launch operations to Chennai, Bangalore and Mumbai in the next 18 months, he said. Cities like Guwahati and Bhubaneshwar were also on its radar for turbo-prop operations.
