Biman resumes Dhaka-Barisal flight Jan 1
Biman Bangladesh Airlines will resume its Dhaka-Barisal flights from January 1. However instead of direct Dhaka-Barisal-Dhaka flights earlier, Barisal will be connected with Dhaka via Jessore in the new arrangement, which will double the travelling time. This will reduce the number of passengers, sources said. Biman sources at its Barisal office said there will be two flights a week on Sunday and Thursday in the new schedule, which will benefit Benapole bound passengers.
Biman will leave Dhaka for Barisal at 12-15 pm on Sunday and land at Barisal at 12-40 pm. It will fly for Jessore at 1-05. It will reach Jessore at 1-30 pm and leave for Dhaka at 2-00 pm. It will land in Dhaka at 2-30 pm.
On Thursday Biman will leave Dhaka for Jessore at 12-15 pm and arrive Barisal at 1-15 pm.
Biman's barisal Station Manager Shamsul Arefin however claimed that there will be enough passengers in the new schedule as India-bound passengers through Benapole will avail the flights.
