We're confident our offerings like the ease of connections, warm Asian hospitality, diverse in-flight entertainment options and customer-centric initiatives such as our health document verification tool, Fly Ready, make us one of the world's greatest service brands.”
“Aside from the stream of those visiting friends and relatives, we also welcome travellers searching for cultural experiences abroad. Moreover, our much-anticipated weekly passenger flights will also support our cargo freighters, of which we have three per week from Dhaka.”
