US-Bangla Airlines has resumed regular flight operations across its Middle East network, restoring connectivity for Bangladeshi expatriates after recent disruptions linked to regional tensions.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the private carrier said it is now operating scheduled services to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Doha, Riyadh and Jeddah as the situation in the region improves.
Flights on the Dhaka–Doha route are set to resume on 23 April, with daily departures from Dhaka at 7:30 pm and return flights leaving Doha at 11:30 pm local time on the same day.
The airline operates direct flights from Dhaka to Muscat, while return services from Muscat arrive in Dhaka via Chattogram. Flights to Dubai run daily via Chattogram.
Services to Abu Dhabi operate six days a week, excluding Thursday, while Sharjah flights run four times weekly. In Saudi Arabia, flights to Riyadh operate five days a week on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and services to Jeddah run three days a week on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.
Most Middle East routes are operated using Boeing 737-800 aircraft. Flights to Riyadh and Jeddah are operated with Airbus A330-300 aircraft.
US-Bangla Airlines currently operates a fleet of 25 aircraft, including three Airbus A330-300s and nine Boeing 737-800s. The airline said it plans to expand its Middle East network further with the launch of services to Madinah and Dammam in the near future.
