Gurugram, Jul 1 (UNI) Private airline SpiceJet on Monday launched daily non-stop flight services on the Guwahati-Dhaka route under the International Air Connectivity Scheme (IACS) of the government.

Assam Minister of Transport, Chandra Mohan Patowary, Minister of Education, Law & Justice, GDD Siddhartha Bhattacharya, Additional Chief Secretary Industries & Commerce Ravi Capoor and Ministry of Civil Aviation Joint Secretary Usha Padhee also present on the occasion.

The launch was initiated with the customary lamp lighting ceremony thereby marking the formal announcement of SpiceJet’s SG 78 Guwahati to Dhaka flight.
