B Mirror Report: The national flag carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines has decided to resume its suspended Dhaka–Sylhet–Manchester flight route from July 1 after the completion of this year’s Hajj operations, responding to passenger demand and government directives.

The decision was taken following instructions from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism, according to a press release issued by Biman today.

Biman said the Dhaka–Sylhet–Manchester route, which had remained suspended for some time, will be reopened to facilitate travel for passengers, particularly members of the Bangladeshi diaspora living in the United Kingdom.

The airline also said the detailed flight schedule and other operational arrangements of the service will be announced in due course.

Officials believe the resumption of the route will help strengthen air connectivity between Bangladesh and the United Kingdom, a major destination for Bangladeshi expatriates.
