Biman suspends Dhaka-Narita flights from 1 July
Passengers who have already purchased tickets for flights on or after 1 July will be eligible for a full refund or a ticket reissuance without any deduction
Biman Bangladesh Airlines today (18 May) announced temporary suspension of its direct flights on the Dhaka-Narita-Dhaka route, effective from 1 July.
The national flag carrier has taken the decision due to operational constraints stemming from ongoing Hajj operations, aircraft shortages, and prevailing commercial considerations, said a Biman press release.
Passengers who have already purchased tickets for flights on or after 1 July will be eligible for a full refund or a ticket reissuance without any deduction, the airline assured.

Biman has requested affected travelers to contact their respective sales offices, ticket counters, or authorized agents to process refunds or rebooking.
The airline expressed regret for the inconvenience and thanked passengers for their understanding during the temporary disruption.
On 1 September 2023 Biman resumed its Dhaka-Narita flight with an aim to make the Bangladesh-Japan direct air connectivity a profitable route.
Biman had suspended its Dhaka-Tokyo route in 2006 as that time it was not commercially viable, and there was a lack of sufficient aircraft, said aviation stakeholders.
