Your article about Biman Bangladesh desperately sought more chartered aircraft to ferry pilgrims for Hajj. Biman is still operating losing flights to New York.

It would be advisable for Biman to temporarily suspend flights to New

York, Brussels, Frankfurt, Rome and Paris, and press the freed-up aircraft exclusively on Hajj flights. This should go a long way towards alleviating the aircraft shortage, and Biman can cancel the contracts with the chartered aircraft operators.
