Five Indian airlines will carry 17,120 passengers a week from Dhaka and Chittagong to different Indian cities

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has proposed the operation of five airlines on 16 routes a week under the air travel bubble agreement between Bangladesh and India, primarily for emergency services during the global coronavirus pandemic.

These Indian airlines will be able to carry 17,120 passengers a week from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka and Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong to New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai, depending on passenger demand, according to the proposal.

Ticket prices, ground handling charges and other airport charges will not be included in the air travel bubble agreement.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) said the flights would launch soon after the Indian proposal is verified.

The proposal said Air India will be able to carry 346 passengers per week on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi route and 346 passengers per week on the Kolkata-Dhaka-Kolkata route.

Go Air will be able to carry 1,302 passengers per week on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi route, as well as 1,302 passengers on the Kolkata-Dhaka-Kolkata route.

IndiGo will be able to carry 1,302 passengers per week on the Kolkata-Dhaka-Kolkata route, 1,302 passengers on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi route, and 558 passengers on the Chennai-Dhaka-Chennai route.

SpiceJet will be able to carry 546 passengers per week on the Kolkata-Chittagong-Kolkata route, 546 passengers on the Kolkata-Dhaka-Kolkata route, 558 passengers on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi route, 558 passengers per week on Mumbai-Dhaka-Mumbai route, and 556 passengers on Chennai-Dhaka-Chennai route.

Vistara Air will be able to carry 2,632 passengers per week on the Delhi-Dhaka-Delhi route, 2,632 passengers on the Kolkata-Dhaka-Kolkata route, 1,316 passengers on the Mumbai-Dhaka-Mumbai route, and 1,316 passengers on the Chennai-Dhaka-Chennai route.

On September 10, CAAB Chairman Air Vice Marshal M Mofidur Rahman sent a proposal to the director general of Civil Aviation of India. In the proposal, he noted that the Covid-19 situation in Bangladesh and India is still alarming and various preventive measures were needed in both countries.

CAAB proposed also said Biman Bangladesh Airlines wished to operate on the Dhaka-Delhi-Dhaka and Dhaka-Kolkata-Dhaka routes, US Bangla Airlines on the Dhaka-Kolkata-Dhaka and Dhaka-Chennai-Dhaka routes, and NovoAir on the Dhaka-Kolkata-Kolkata route.

Air travel bubbles are temporary arrangements between two countries aimed at restarting commercial passenger services while regular international flights are suspended - in this case, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

India currently has air transport bubbles with Germany, France, and the Maldives.

Should be rejected out of hand. Indias need BD money hence the request. This is a good opporrunity to track and tabulate all the illigal india scum in the country and this would give our economy a leg up if the middle class are prevented from going there for shopping trips.

 

[UKBengali]

If BD has a death wish from importing corona virus from India, then it should go ahead with this proposal.

seeing CAAB already making proposal, it is all but certain Hasina and awami league already indian bubble er vitore hundaia porche (got inside the indian bubble). Folks wishing otherwise, including myself, should get real.

Correct. This air-bubble pact is essentially a lose-lose proposition for us all around. Once the illegal Indians are out of the country, this will enable our local folks to work locally and keep our money in-house. Just like Indians do. Show me what Bangladeshi manager ever got a job in India.

Hell will freeze over before that.

Perhaps, you can educate us - when is that "Once"? and who will be doing it?

How are things going on now? Is it possible to get from India to Bangladesh in a place? I will have to make such a journey next month, and now I am researching the topic.
The thing that bothers me the most in what is Indian Airlines’ attitude toward emotional support animals? Do they offer special conditions, like whether they were service animals or not? I have to travel with my ESA cat, and I really don’t want to send him to the luggage section. There are websites in the US like esaregistration.org that help to register your ESA online and get a travel certificate.

Guys, do you remember how theBritish traders sold tea free in the beginning? Is this offer of air travel also like that because I do not see a word saying about the prices for the travel.

I am not really sure what India has in its sleeves. But, are the travels free of costs? I am perplexed at the Indian Baniya technique.

Must be rejected out of hand.

Toilet-less and unhygienic Indians are disease carriers.

We don’t wish to be in any “air bubbles” with them!

Have they plugged their oxygen shortages, yet??!!
