“We suspend all flights to Dubai and Abu Dhabi from March 19 to 31 as per the decision of the UAE,” Biman Managing Director and CEO Md Mokabbir Hossain told the media here today.
However, the UAE carriers, including Emirates Airlines, will continue their flight operation to Dhaka to carry only transit passengers to other destinations like the UK, the USA and Canada.
