Biman Bangladesh Airlines faced disruption in flight schedules on Saturday failing to get landing permission in Dammam and Riyadh.

The flight operations now became normal on Sunday (April 18) as Saudi Arabia gave landing permission in the two destinations.

A special flight left for Riyadh at 10:30 am while other special flights left for Muscat and Dubai.

Tahera Khandaker, deputy general manager (public relations) of Biman, told Banglanews: "There is no problem on the second day. We got flight landings permissions in Riyadh and Dammam in Saudi Arabia. Permission was granted in Jeddah but separate permission needed for Riyadh and Dammam. We have got all approvals. An extra flight has been added to Dammam today."

Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport authorities said a total of 12 special flights will be operated on the second day.
