Biman Bangladesh Airlines (BG,
Dhaka) is under pressure from the United States after announcing it was launching direct flights between Dhaka and
Rome Fiumicino as its planned route involved transiting Iranian airspace.
“The US is not allowing us to pay Iran for overflying charges on the grounds of its sanctions on the country. If we cannot pay overflying charges to Iran, it will not allow us to overfly,” Bangladesh's Daily Star newspaper reported citing company officials who wanted to remain anonymous.
