Flights from Calcutta to Bangladesh start on October 28

Flight services between Calcutta and Bangladesh will resume on October 28 and many airlines have already planned their schedules, airport officials said on Thursday.

Airlines are planning to resume flight operations from Calcutta to Dhaka and Chittagong in the first week of November, according to officials of several airlines.

One of the most popular international routes from Calcutta, commercial flights to Dhaka had been stalled because of the pandemic. Only a few evacuation flights had operated a few months ago.

“An air travel bubble will be established between India and Bangladesh with effect from October 28 and will remain valid till January 31 next year or till the resumption of scheduled international flights, whichever is earlier,” the Centre has said in a letter to the directorate general of civil aviation.
