Private airline NOVOAIR has announced special benefits for Umrah pilgrims and students travelling abroad, offering them extra baggage allowance on domestic routes.
Usually, passengers can carry 20 kg of checked baggage and 7 kg of hand baggage.
However, Umrah pilgrims and outbound students will now be allowed to carry an additional 20 kg of checked baggage free of charge, NOVOAIR said in a press release on Wednesday.
With this, they can carry up to 40 kg of checked baggage on domestic flights, effective from today.
NOVOAIR managing director Mofizur Rahman said the airline is always committed to improving passenger service and ensuring more comfortable and affordable travel. That is why the extra baggage benefit is being introduced for Umrah passengers and students going abroad, he added.
Currently, NOVOAIR operates daily domestic flights from Dhaka to Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Saidpur and Sylhet.
