Biman Bangladesh Airlines is set to re-launch its Dhaka-Delhi direct flight operations from next month after five years as India's private Jet airways halted its flight operations between the two capitals. "We are resuming the Dhaka-Delhi flight on May 13 which was stopped in 2014," said Mohammad Zahidul Islam, Operations Manager of the Bangladesh flag carrier.

With this flight, Biman will become the only carrier to operate direct flights between the capital cities of the two countries. At first, Biman will operate three flights every week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The national flag carrier of Bangladesh will use Boeing 737-800 aircraft with a configuration of 12 Business class and 150 Economy class seats on this route. InterGlobe Air Transport Limited (IGAT) serves as the exclusive GSA for Biman Bangladesh in India. The airline additionally runs flights to 15 international destinations (Kuwait, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Riyadh, London, Dubai, Jeddah, Doha, Dammam, Kolkata, Kathmandu, Yangon, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok) and a well-knit seven domestic stations with a younger fleet of 13 aircraft including Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
