(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor) Dhaka : Biman Bangladesh Airlines resumed flights on Dhaka-Kuala Lumpur route from November 2 following Malaysia's easing of restrictions on passenger transport from Bangladesh.
The airline's Kuala Lumpur-bound flights fly on Tuesdays, Thurs-days, Fridays and Sundays at 7:15 pm (local time), while Dhaka-bound flights are operated on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays at 2:30 pm (local time), said a Biman press release.
Passenger transport to Kuala Lumpur had been suspended since May 7, due to Covid-19 restrictions, but passengers from Malaysia could come to Bangladesh.
