Dhaka, February 26, 2022: Biman Bangladesh Airlines has launched their new Passenger Service Solution (PSS).

Activities have been transferred to ‘Saber Corporation’, another organization different from the current PSS ‘Cita’. Passengers have been getting online ticketing, booking, check-in, web service etc. services since Sunday (February 26) morning. However, although there is a facility to buy tickets on the website, the mobile application is not being launched now.

It is learned that the work of transferring the data from PSS 'Cita' to 'Saber' started from last Saturday (February 28) at 3:45 pm. Ticket booking, reservation and ticket issuance activities were closed from all channels of Biman for about 11 and a half hours. However, special arrangements are being made at this time to carry out the activities related to air transport including check-in at the airport as per schedule.

According to Biman Bangladesh Airlines sources, the cost of ticketing for Biman has come down with the launch of Passenger Service Solution. At the same time, passengers will get the opportunity to receive, change and refund more flights online.

It is learned that passengers will still be able to book tickets, as well as decide which seat they want to sit on. Money can be paid through bank banking as well as bank card to buy tickets.

In 2019, Biman hired a company called Travel Shop to run ticket sales activities on its website and mobile app. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the mobile application of Biman Bangladesh Airlines in December 2019 through a stylish ceremony. However, the sale of tickets of Biman Bangladesh Airlines was stopped on the online platform from last August 10. However, Biman is not paying the fare of the server, the complaint was stopped by the travel shop.
