Air travel between Pakistan and Bangladesh has resumed after a 14-year suspension, with a Biman Air flight from Dhaka landing at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport carrying 149 passengers.

The arrival marked the first direct commercial flight between the two countries in more than a decade and was welcomed with a water salute at the airport.

The flight departed from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shah Jalal International Airport and landed safely in Karachi, where passengers expressed excitement over the restoration of direct air connectivity.

A special ceremony was held at the airport to commemorate the occasion, including a cake-cutting event attended by officials from both countries.
