Biman adds extra flights to Rome

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has announced an increase in its Dhaka (DAC) to Rome Fiumicino (FCO) service for the Northern winter 2024/25 season. The national flag carrier of Bangladesh will enhance the frequency of its flights on this route from two to three weekly flights, commencing from October 27, 2024, and continuing through March 29, 2025. This strategic move aims to cater to the growing demand and improve connectivity between Bangladesh and Italy.

Flight Schedule for Winter 2024/25

The flights will be operated using the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, a state-of-the-art aircraft known for its efficiency, superior comfort, and lower environmental impact. The detailed schedule for the flights is as follows:

Flight BG355: Departs from Dhaka (DAC) at 03:30 and arrives in Rome (FCO) at 09:15. Operates on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Flight BG356: Departs from Rome (FCO) at 10:55 and arrives in Dhaka (DAC) at 00:40 the next day. Operates on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Enhanced Connectivity

The increase in frequency highlights Biman Bangladesh Airlines' commitment to offering enhanced connectivity and convenience for passengers traveling between these two culturally rich regions. This adjustment is particularly significant given the large Bangladeshi expatriate community in Italy—home to one of the largest Bangladeshi diaspora populations in Europe. Furthermore, the increased frequency will cater to tourists, business travelers, and those visiting friends and family, providing more flexibility and options in their travel plans.

Economic and Cultural Impact

This route expansion is poised to boost economic ties between Bangladesh and Italy, fostering trade and tourism. Bangladesh, known for its burgeoning economy, textiles, and rich historical heritage, stands to gain from increased bilateral interactions. Tourists traveling from Italy will have more opportunities to explore Bangladesh's natural beauty, including its UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Sundarbans mangrove forest and the ancient city of Bagerhat.

Conversely, Rome, with its timeless history, is a major attraction for Bangladeshi travelers. The Eternal City's array of historic sites, including the Colosseum, Vatican City, and countless museums, offers a rich tapestry of experiences for visitors.

Emphasizing Passenger Comfort and Safety

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner is part of Biman’s modern fleet, designed to ensure passenger comfort and safety. The aircraft features advanced aerodynamics, noise-reducing technology, and more spacious seating arrangements. Passengers can also enjoy in-flight entertainment systems, improved cabin pressure, and a variety of meal options to accommodate dietary needs.

What Passengers Can Expect

Comfort: Enhanced seating, larger windows, and a smoother ride thanks to the Boeing 787-8.

Convenience: Three weekly flights ensure more flexible travel planning.

Connectivity: Improved links between South Asia and Europe, facilitating easy transit to further European destinations.

Service: Renowned Bangladeshi hospitality with in-flight services tailored to make the journey pleasant and memorable.

Future Prospects

With this expansion, Biman Bangladesh Airlines is gearing up to reinforce its presence in the European market. Continued growth in this sector may suggest potential future increases in frequency or even new routes bridging the gap between Bangladesh and other European hubs.
