Best Air, the country's third private airline, is likely to start its Dhaka-Dubai-Dhaka route from 27th-August-2008. “Initially we will fly on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday,” Best Air director (Marketing and Sales) Farhad Hossain told the news agency by telephone.
For the new Dhaka-Dubai-Dhaka route, the aviation company would take lease 162-seat MD-83, and the aircraft will be available by next week.
Best Air has already got permission from the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) to operate flights to Kuala Lumpur.
“After the inauguration of the Dhaka-Dubai route we will go for Dhaka-Kuala Lumpur route via Chittagong three days a week,” Farhad said, adding that there is a possibility of starting Chittagong-Dubai route simultaneously at that time.
Best Air now operates on Dhaka-Bangkok and Dhaka-Colombo-Male routes with its lone Boeing 737-200.
