Air bubble arrangement between Bangladesh and India inaugurated! After months of lockdown and suspension of flights, the air bubble between India and Bangladesh was inaugurated by High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh Vikram Doraiswami and Bangladesh’s Civil Aviation Authority Chairman Air Vice Marshal Mafidur Rahman on Wednesday at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. To mark the resumption of the air travel arrangements, two flights operated by US-Bangla Airlines left from Dhaka to Kolkata and Chennai. The news is set to come as a relief to the nationals of Bangladesh, who have been requesting urgent access to India, especially for medical purposes.
Speaking at the occasion, Doraiswami said that most tourists from Bangladesh head to India, especially for medical purposes. The resumption of the bilateral travel arrangements would help such tourists and also aid in furthering friendly ties between the two nations, he added.
From Bangladesh, three airlines would be operating. These are US-Bangla Airlines, NovoAir and Biman Bangladesh. From the Indian side, five carriers, including GoAir, IndiGo, Air India, Vistara and SpiceJet, would be operating flights to Bangladesh.
Flights from Bangladesh would originate from Dhaka and arrive at Chennai, Delhi and Kolkata, while Indian flights would be flying to Dhaka from Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai.
