Biman’s one-off flight to Toronto on March 26, scheduled flights not before June

Dhaka : The national flag carrier, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, will launch a one-off  flight to Toronto in Canada on March 26. However, scheduled flights may not start before June this year.
Talking to The Bangladesh Monitor, Mahbub Ali said, tickets for scheduled flights on Dhaka-Toronto route are yet to hit the GDS system.  Due to passenger depature system issues at Toronto Airport, it might take 12 weeks more to start regular flights to Toronto from Dhaka. 
Earlier at the award distribution ceremony of "Biman Half-Marathon Competition 2022" held at Hatirjheel amphitheatre in  the capital on March 11, the State Minister said, preparation to launch flights on the route are in the final last  stage. 
Also on the occasion, Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism Md Mokammel Hossain, Member of the Board of Aviation Barrister Tanjib Ul Alam and senior officials of Biman Bangladesh Airlines were present.
At the event, State Minister for Aviation and Tourism Mahbub Ali said, "We have come a long way in launching Dhaka to New York flights. Also, everything has been finalised about launching the flight from Dhaka to Narita, Japan. Activities have been halted due to the pandemic only."
He hoped, "Biman will fly to many other international destinations in the near future."
