Private airlines Novoair will launch its second international flight to Kolkata from December 1, official said.
The private carrier will operate four flights a week from Dhaka to Kolkata.
Speaking at a press briefing Novoair’s managing director Mofizur Rahman said that they are following a go-slow policy in expanding their international operations.
“There are many competitors on the international routes and we didn`t want to expand our coverage in a hurry,” he said.
He said that the promotional fare on a two-way Dhaka-Kolkata ticket including taxes and surcharges will start from Tk 9,999.
It will fly from Dhaka on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 2:25pm and arrive in Kolkata at 3pm, while it will fly from Kolkata at 4pm and arrive in Dhaka at 5:35pm (local time).
Novoair started operations in 2013 and is running regular flights in the domestic routes.
