National flag carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines has decided to resume its suspended Dhaka–Sylhet–Manchester route from July 1 following completion of this year’s Hajj operations, responding to passenger demand and government directives.

The decision was taken in line with the instructions of the Minister and State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism, according to a press release issued by the airline today.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines said the Dhaka–Sylhet–Manchester route, which had remained suspended for some time, would be reopened to facilitate travel for passengers, particularly members of the Bangladeshi diaspora in the United Kingdom.

The airline added that the flight schedule and other operational details of the service will be announced in due course.

The move is expected to strengthen air connectivity between Bangladesh and the UK, one of the key destinations for Bangladeshi expatriates.
