As the designated national carrier, Biman, along with Saudia and Flynas, jointly operated Hajj flights under the supervision of the Bangladesh and Saudi governments.
Biman deployed over a thousand of its officials and staff to ensure the smooth execution of additional Hajj flights and associated services.
Apart from air transportation, Biman was also solely responsible for providing ground handling services for all Hajj flights, including those operated by foreign airlines, at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and other key points of entry.
Through the successful execution of this large-scale operation, Biman Bangladesh Airlines has once again demonstrated its capacity, professionalism, and commitment to national service, said the release.
"Biman is committed to continuing this level of service and dedication in future Hajj operations," the release added.
