Novoair, a private carrier in Bangladesh, plans to resume daily passenger flight operations on the Dhaka-Kolkata route from 27 March, reports UNB.
From Dhaka, the flights would depart at 5.20pm (local time) daily and at 6.40pm (local time) from Kolkata, Novoair said in a press release on Wednesday.
Novoair will also announce a holiday package very soon, it added.
India’s civil aviation directorate has already given its nod for the resumption of scheduled international commercial flights from 27 March.
Commercial flights on the route have been suspended since 25 March, 2020 due to the pandemic. However, special flights were allowed to operate between Bangladesh and India, under the air-bubble agreement.
Currently, Novoair is operating domestic flights daily, including eight between Dhaka and Cox’s Bazar.
