BSS, New York

The slot of Biman Bangladesh Airlines at John F Kennedy (JFK) Airport here is likely to be cancelled, if the national flag carrier does not resume its Dhaka-New York flight by March 23, the last day of the existing slot.

Though the Biman does not operate any flight on the New York route, the slot at the JFK Airport has been kept valid so far through applications seeking more time.

The New York office of the Biman said since the process of procuring new aircraft is under way, there is a possibility of restarting the New York flight.

Therefore, the Biman will apply again seeking more time before expiry of the date of the present slot.
