Biman Bangladesh Airlines cancels its Doha-bound flights till August 26 to increase the availability of aircraft for carrying hajjis to Saudi Arabia.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has been forced to cancel four more hajj flights scheduled for yesterday and today due to shortage of pilgrims.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines yesterday cancelled another hajj flight thanks to failure of private hajj tour operators for not confirming visas and air tickets of the pilgrims.

This year's first hajj flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines is scheduled to depart at 7:55am today from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.
