Biman Bangladesh Airlines announced the suspension of flights on the Dhaka-Riyadh-Dhaka route, effective for 19 consecutive days. The national flag carrier did not immediately disclose specific reasons for the operational halt on this international service.
The suspension represents a temporary disruption to air connectivity between Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia, a key destination for Bangladeshi expatriates and business travelers. Biman operates the route as part of its growing international network serving the Gulf region.
Passengers booked on affected flights during the suspension period are expected to be notified by the airline regarding rebooking options and alternative arrangements. Biman has not announced details on when normal services will resume beyond the stated 19-day timeframe.
The suspension comes as airlines across the region continue managing operational challenges in their international networks. Biman's decision to temporarily halt the service suggests maintenance, scheduling adjustments, or other operational considerations requiring the brief cessation of flights on this route.
