At least procurement of two cargo planes is urgently needed, I think that, if you take initiative properly right now, it would be possible to do so,” she said. Biman will be more profitable if its cargo service continues, she added. In this regard she said that establishment of communication along with cargo service with the neighbouring countries is urgently needed. “There is no need to seek profit in all routes,” she said. The PM said that the cargo handling and flight handling will be of international standard. “Passengers must not suffer after getting down from planes. You have to give special attention in this matter,” she directed.
