  In this article, we propose a new method for solving the interval fixed
charge transportation problem (IFCTP), wherein the parameters (associated cost,
fixed cost, supply, and demand) are represented by interval numbers. First, an
equivalent bi-objective fixed charge transportation problem (FCTP) is derived
from the given IFCTP, and then the equivalent crisp problem is solved using a
fuzzy programming technique. To demonstrate the solution procedure, two
existing numerical examples (Safi and Razmjoo {\cite{bakp1}}) are coded and
solved in LINGO 19.0. We establish the effectiveness of our proposed method
through a comparison of the results achieved with those of two pre-existing
methods.
