Novoair, a private carrier in Bangladesh, plans to resume daily passenger flight operations on the Dhaka-Kolkata route from March 27.
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 permitted the resumption of scheduled international commercial flights from March 27.
Commercial flights on the route have been suspended since 25 March 2020, because of the pandemic. However, special flights were allowed to operate between Bangladesh and India, under the air-bubble agreement.
Currently, Novoair operates domestic flights daily. They include 8 Dhaka-Cox’s Bazar flights, 5 Dhaka-Chattogram flights, 5 Dhaka-Saidpur flights, 5 Dhaka-Jashore flights, 3 Dhaka-Sylhet flights, 1 each Dhaka-Barisal and Dhaka-Rajshahi flights.
