Biman Bangladesh Airlines will resume flights on Chattogram-Sylhet- Chattogram route for the first time in the history of the country’s aviation.
The inaugural flight will depart the port city of Chottogram for Sylhet on March 17 to mark the birth centenary of father of the Bengali nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. The airline will operate flights two days in a week on this route.
