The Economic Times reported on November 26 that Pakistan and Bangladesh plan to resume direct flights in December, marking a major breakthrough in bilateral relations. The High Commissioner of Bangladesh to Pakistan, Iqbal Hussain Khan, said that Iran's private airline Mahan Air will launch a weekly flight from Dhaka to Karachi starting in December, operating three times a week; meanwhile, Pakistan's private airlines Jinnah Air and Air Sial have also received approval for direct flights from the Bangladesh aviation authorities. Iqbal said that due to the growing demand for bilateral trade, direct freight services will also be launched soon, which is expected to further boost bilateral trade growth between Pakistan and Bangladesh in areas such as food, textiles, automobiles, and IT. Iqbal pointed out that the bilateral trade volume between Pakistan and Bangladesh is expected to rapidly rise from the current USD 700 million to USD 3 billion within a few years.
