Biman Bangladesh Airlines cancelled all its Rajshahi to Dhaka flights on 3 May 2019 due to cyclonic storm ‘Fani’. Two flights of Biman were scheduled to fly from Rajshahi to Dhaka on Friday (3 May).
The pilot of the Dhaka to Rajshahi flight could not find favourable weather to fly the Dhaka to Rajshahi flight scheduled at 3.30 pm. Later, he cancelled the flight at 5.15 pm considering the inclement weather due to the influence of devastating storm Fani.
