Officials familiar with the development said the decision reflects improved diplomatic relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Political changes in Bangladesh in 2024 led to renewed engagement, paving the way for the restoration of long-suspended air links.
The plan to resume direct flights was first announced in August last year during Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar’s visit to Dhaka. The visit marked the first high-level diplomatic engagement between the two countries in more than a decade.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines has also shared booking and contact details through its official channels. Aviation and trade experts believe the restored route will support passenger travel and strengthen trade, tourism, and people-to-people ties between the two countries.
