Tripura gives nod to operate flights to Bangladesh from this year
In an effort to boost ties with neighbours and to explore trade and bilateral opportunities in the region, Tripura Tuesday formally approved a proposal to start international flights to Bangladesh this year.
A meeting of the state Cabinet approved a proposal to start Agartala-Chittagong-Agartala air connectivity by the end of this year, Information and Cultural Affairs Minister Sushanta Chowdhury told reporters in Agartala Tuesday.
The minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while inaugurating the new Maharaja Bir Bikram (MBB) Airport in January, had announced that international flights would soon commence from Tripura.
