Flight Expert website goes offline suddenly, CEO allegedly flees

The website of ‘Flight Expert’, a platform for online airline ticket booking, has suddenly gone offline.

As a result, thousands of customers and ticket-selling agencies who had paid in advance for bookings are now facing serious difficulties.

Several officials from Flight Expert have alleged that the owners have shut down operations and left Bangladesh. 

A general diary (GD) has also been lodged at the Motijheel Police Station, alleging that the company’s CEO Salman Bin Rashid Shah Sayeem has fled the country.

The GD, submitted by company representative Sayeed Ahmed, states that Salman notified employees through the agency’s WhatsApp group about his departure from Bangladesh.

Large crowds gathered at the Flight Expert office in Motijheel on Saturday evening, according to a local media report.

Many of them were representatives from various supplier companies and ticket agencies, anxious to know the fate of their purchased tickets.

However, most left disappointed after finding no concrete answers at the office, the report says.
