Shawdesh Desk:

The authorities have relaxed the restrictions on passenger seating arrangements in domestic flights.

Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) Chairman Air Vice Marshal M Mafidur Rahman announced the decision.

“We have instructed all the domestic airline authorities in this regard,” he said.

Earlier, the domestic flights were allowed to board only 75 percent passengers in each flight due to coronavirus pandemic.

“From now only the first and last row of the flights have to be kept empty and passengers can be boarded in rest of the seats,” Rahman said.
