Star Business Report
Air-India, which resumed operations in Bangladesh in June this year, now enjoys a good business, said airline officials. The airline is carrying 200 to 250 passengers on each flight to its three destinations from Bangladesh -- New Delhi, Kolkata and London, and now plans to raise frequencies to Dhaka by introducing daily flights. "If we fly daily, we may fly from Chittagong," said AK Mitra, manager of Air-India, Bangladesh, at press briefing in Dhaka yesterday. The airline now offers a package to fly from Bangladesh to any destination of India with only $350. To enhance its activities, the company has undertaken a massive fleet acquisition programme of purchasing 50 more aircraft at an approximate cost of Rs 30,000 crore, he said.
