The air connectivity between the neighbouring Bangladesh and India has been restored under “air bubble” arrangement after more than seven months of flight suspension for containment of COVID-19 pandemic.

The first resumption flight between the two countries began as a US-Bangla Airlines regular commercial flight from Dhaka to Kolkata took off from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) at 9:45am on Wednesday.

Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Vikram K Doraiswami, Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh (CAAB) Chairman Air Vice Marshal M Mafidur Rahman and US-Bangla Airlines CEO Capt Skikdar Meshba Uddin Ahmed were present at the airport to see off the Kolkata bound passengers, said the airline's spokesperson.
