Bangladesh’s national carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines resumed international flights on Sunday after a gap of three months due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The maiden flight of BG001 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft departed from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for London with 187 passengers on board, airline’s Deputy General Manager (Public Relations) Tahera Khandaker told The Daily Star.
Passengers from Dhaka to London route do not require health certificates declaring that they are not infected with COVID-19, said Air Vice Marshal M Mafidur Rahman, chairman of Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB).
But they will have to fill-up a health declaration form as per the International Civil Aviation Organization’s guidelines, he added.
The CAAB chief also said that all London-bound passengers will have to stay in quarantine for 14 days as per the policy of that country.
