The UK has imposed a ban on direct air cargo from Dhaka to London until further notice as Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport failed to meet some international security requirements.

In a letter to Hasina on Tuesday, Cameron called for a visible improvement of airport security by March 31 to avoid further measures like banning of direct Biman flights from Dhaka to London.
