The national flag carrier issued a statement on Thursday, saying it would sell tickets for domestic flights at a lower price under the Eid Special Service scheme until July 31.

The statement said ‘special-additional’ flights would fly to Jessore, Rajshahi and Syedpur on July 15.

Tk 200 to 500 had been reduced in case of tickets for travel to any domestic destination from Dhaka, while the cut was up to Tk 1,000 for tickets to Dhaka from any location in the country, it said.
