(NewsNibs) - During a visit to the Biman Bangladesh Airlines office in Toronto on Thursday, December 28, 2023, the High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Canada, Khalilur Rahman, engaged in strategic talks aimed at enhancing the airline's service delivery. The envoy's visit underscored the importance of refining the operational efficiency of the national flag carrier, particularly on the Dhaka-Toronto route. Discussions centered on executing service improvements and measures to increase profitability were at the forefront of the diplomatic engagement.
Community Cooperation Sought
Khalilur Rahman emphasized the need for the Bangladeshi-Canadian community's support in this venture, acknowledging that their full cooperation was vital for Biman Bangladesh Airlines' success on the international segment connecting Dhaka and Toronto. The High Commissioner's remarks were seen as a call to action, encouraging stronger ties and engagement between the airline and the community it aims to serve.
Direct Oversight on Flagship Route
A key assignment for Khalilur Rahman, upon his appointment as High Commissioner, was the realization of launching flights on the Dhaka-Toronto route, an initiative personally supervised by the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina. This direct route was successfully established within a year of his assumption of duty, marking a significant milestone in his tenure and in the airline's expansion efforts.
In conclusion, the High Commissioner's visit to the Biman office in Toronto is seen as a pivotal step towards fostering enhanced relations between Bangladesh and Canada and improving the airlines' overall service and profitability. The visit also highlights the importance placed by Bangladesh’s government on direct overseas engagements in promoting national interest through improved connectivity and commerce.
