Grief can cause disbelief, denial, confusion, anger, anxiety and deep longing for a loved one to come back, and these emotions can affect a child’s physical health, since they can interfere with healthy sleep, regular meals and more.
DHAKA: The civil aviation ministry has found several Biman officials, including high-ups, fully responsible for the syndicate that artificially hiked the prices of flight tickets to Malaysia in May this year.
"Between April 15, 2024, and May 31, 2024, the ticket price of an economy class seat on a Biman flight between Dhaka and Kuala Lumpur rose from Tk 20,475 to Tk 73,710 ."The price hike led to planes flying with empty seats even as migrant workers, who were trying to get to Malaysia, despaired at the airport.
The ministry report, however, found that even before the notification was sent out, Biman officials blocked seats -- often all of them on a single plane -- to favour 14 specific travel agencies. "As a result, the other travel agencies were deprived of equal access to those tickets. This also meant the selected travel agencies got the chance to artificially increase the ticket prices of those seats."During the investigation, the committee also came across a snapshot showing 91 tickets were booked with the reference of former minister Lt Col Muhammad Faruk Khan and Biman's former managing director Shafiul Azim.The committee included the snapshot in the report.
Former civil aviation minister Lt Col Faruk Khan was contacted via phone and text message but was unreachable as of the filing of this report around 9.30pm. He was joined by Manager Golam Mostafa and Assistant Manager Farhana Akhter, and by 2.21am, 329 seats were blocked.Golam Mostafa claimed the rules and policies were followed to the dot and nothing abnormal happened.
The number of tickets to be overbooked depends on the historical trends of the number of seats that go empty on that particular flight.
