Photo ID must during domestic air travel: CAAB
Passengers will have to carry photo IDs while travelling on domestic flights, according to an instruction of the civil aviation regulators.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) issued the instruction on Tuesday, two days after a reported attempted hijacking of a Biman Bangladesh Airlines aircraft at Chattogram airport.
Valid passports, NID cards, driving licences, student IDs or office IDs will have to be shown while collecting boarding cards, Biman said in a statement.
Biman requested the passengers to keep photo IDs with them travelling to domestic destinations. “Otherwise, they’ll be restricted from travelling,” the statement added.
