Bangladesh and Pakistan to Resume Direct Flights After Decade-Long Gap

Biman Bangladesh Airlines will resume direct flights between Dhaka and Karachi on January 29, restoring non-stop air connectivity after over a decade. Initially operating twice weekly, the service aims to improve travel convenience and foster renewed diplomatic and trade ties between the two nations. This development follows months of discussions and formal approval from Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority. The shortest route may involve flying over Indian airspace, with overflight permissions from New Delhi yet to be confirmed.
