Scoot pulls out of Bangladesh

Singapore-based budget airline Scoot is scheduled to operate its last flight on Dhaka-Singapore route from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport on April 29. In 2018, UAE-based Fly Dubai and Etihad Airways stopped their operations in Bangladesh. Many foreign airlines have complained about operating flights to Dhaka, mostly due to the shortage of boarding bridges and prolonged time period required for luggage handling. National flag carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines, local private airlines US-Bangla Airlines, Regent Airways and two foreign air operators Singapore Airlines and Scoot have been operating direct flight on Dhaka to Singapore route.
