Dhaka: US-Bangla Airlines has resumed normal flight operations across all its Middle East routes following weeks of disruption caused by regional tensions.
The airline, which has been operating scheduled international services to key Middle Eastern destinations since the launch of its global operations, faced temporary setbacks after conflict in the region escalated on February 28, prompting restrictions that affected multiple international carriers.
With conditions now improving, US-Bangla has reinstated regular services to major destinations, including Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Doha, Riyadh, and Jeddah.
A key development is the resumption of flights on the Dhaka–Doha route from April 23. The airline will operate daily flights departing Dhaka at 7:30 pm, with return services leaving Doha at 11:30 pm (local time) on the same day.
US-Bangla continues to operate nonstop flights from Dhaka to Muscat, while return flights from Muscat land in Dhaka via Chattogram. Services to Dubai are also routed via Chattogram. Flights to Abu Dhabi operate six days a week except Thursday, while Sharjah services run four days weekly.
In Saudi Arabia, the carrier operates flights to Riyadh five days a week — Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday — and to Jeddah three days a week on every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday, ensuring flexible travel options for passengers, particularly Bangladeshi expatriates.
Most Middle East routes are served by Boeing 737-800 aircraft, while services to Riyadh and Jeddah are operated using the larger Airbus A330-300s. The airline currently maintains a fleet of 25 aircraft, including three Airbus A330-300s and nine Boeing 737-800s.
Looking ahead, US-Bangla Airlines plans to expand its Middle East network further by launching flights to Madinah and Dammam in the near future.
