Tell me about it!
We must be the only country where the national airline doesn't land at the capital first and lands in another city.
Atm, Biman first lands at Sylhet from Heathrow. You sit in the aircraft for an hour ( you are not allowed to get off! ) and then in 30 mins. you arrive at Dhaka.
Previously, you landed at Dhaka and all the Sylhetis were given free hotel for overnight stay ( 3* hotel ) and then the next day, they took a flight to Sylhet.
I guess by having a stopover at Sylhet, it saves Biman money in jet fuel costs or having another aircraft ready to go to Sylhet.
