Biman Bangladesh Airlines has completed its pre-hajj flights this year – carrying 29,992 pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.

The much-awaited Dhaka-Toronto flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines will begin from July 27, 2022.

The Ministry of Religious Affairs has warned Biman Bangladesh and Saudia airlines over carrying hajj pilgrims to Jeddah, instead of taking them to their scheduled destination, Madinah, causing them immense difficulties.

Although the government had said that immigration of hajj pilgrims at the Saudi end will be completed at Dhaka airport from the first day of hajj flight, it has not happened today.

The first hajj flight carrying 419 Bangladeshi pilgrims is scheduled to take off tomorrow morning (June 5, 2022).

In a latest decision, Biman Bangladesh Airlines is now saying that they have again changed its earlier decision of selecting Manchester as a stopover for its ambitious Dhaka-Toronto route and is considering making Istanbul its technical landing or any other suitable destination.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has backed away from its decision to fly Hajj pilgrims on leased aircraft this time around. Instead, Biman has decided to use its own planes.

After being closed for two years, the Hajj flights from Bangladesh will resume this year. However, various agencies and stakeholders are concerned that only Biman Bangladesh Airlines and Saudia, Saudi Arabia's national carrier, are permitted to operate the flights, causing potential prices to rise due to monopolisation.

This year’s Hajj flights will start from May 31, State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism M Mahbub Ali said today.
