NOVOAIR, the leading private airline in the country, has made sky travel a reality for underprivileged children.

NOVOAIR took 30 children from Jaago Foundation schools on a special "dream flight" to Cox’s Bazar on Wednesday, according to a media statement.

In addition to the flight, the airline organised a beach cleaning program at Cox’s Bazar Sea Beach, with the students actively participating.

These events were part of NOVOAIR's celebration of its 12th anniversary.

The children flew from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar on a flight that left at 10:20 am and returned to Dhaka at 6:30 pm. During their visit to Cox’s Bazar, they explored the sea beach, the Bangladesh Air Force base, and the Cox’s Bazar Railway Station, creating lasting memories.

Maymuna Rahman, a fifth-grade student, expressed her excitement, saying, "I never imagined I would visit the sea beach by plane and see the Bangladesh Air Force aircraft. I am truly grateful to NOVOAIR for making this dream come true."

Another student, Hanif Mia, shared, "Flying through the clouds was an amazing experience! We played on the beach and saw the beautiful Cox’s Bazar Railway Station. This trip felt like a dream come true."

Mofizur Rahman, Managing Director of NOVOAIR, said, "Children are the future of our nation. This initiative is our way of fulfilling their dreams and inspiring them. Such efforts are crucial as part of our social responsibility." He also highlighted their commitment to environmental sustainability, saying, "We take pride in Cox’s Bazar Sea Beach. Through the ‘Beach Cleaning’ program, we aim to raise awareness about environmental issues."

NOVOAIR operates daily flights from Dhaka to Cox’s Bazar, Chattogram, Saidpur, Jashore, Sylhet, and Rajshahi.

The airline's international route to Kolkata is temporarily suspended but will resume soon.
