5 countries want to operate flights in Bangladesh
Among the coronaviruses, five countries in the Middle East and Asia, including British Airways, have shown interest in operating flights to Bangladesh.
Civil Aviation says that they are interested in operating flights in Bangladesh seeing the supportive environment and profit.
According to analysts, this will increase investment in the country, as well as low-cost travel opportunities for passengers.
While the global passenger growth rate by air is 5 percent, the number of passengers in Bangladesh is increasing by 8 percent every year.
And the transportation of goods is increasing at the rate of 10 percent.
According to a survey by the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the number of air passengers in the world will double in 2036, but in Bangladesh it will increase three and a half times.
As one of the aviation hubs, many airlines are showing interest in operating flights in Bangladesh.
British Airways has applied to operate the flight again after a decade of closure in 2009 due to losses.
Iran, Iraq, Indonesia and South Korea have also offered to operate flights to Bangladesh. Once all the procedures are completed, the interested airlines will be able to operate the flights next year, Civil Aviation said.
