The authorities at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka have directed 39 airlines to re-issue or re-book tickets at no extra charge for passengers who missed their flights due to the floods.

In the letter, Executive Director of Dhaka Airport Group Captain Md Kamrul Islam said due to the widespread flooding across the country, many passengers are struggling to arrive at the airport and are missing their international flights.

In this context, airlines are asked to assist their passengers and provide 24-hour customer service. Additionally, they are requested to offer free flight ticket changes for those affected by the floods, according to the letter.
