The airline will operate flights from Dhaka to Abu Dhabi four times weekly, and from Chattogram three times weekly. Flights are scheduled to arrive in Abu Dhabi at 9:10 PM local time, with return flights departing at 10:00 PM. The maiden flight, a Boeing 737-800 accommodating 174 passengers, departed from Chattogram and is expected to land in Abu Dhabi at 9:10 PM local time before returning to Dhaka.
This strategic initiative not only serves the travel needs of the Bangladeshi community but also strengthens bilateral ties. Senior US-Bangla officials bid farewell to passengers on the inaugural flights, emphasizing the significance of the new route.
US-Bangla Airlines continues to expand its domestic and international network, including flights to Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Sylhet, Saidpur, Jashore, Rajshahi, and four additional flights on the Dhaka-Chennai route, totaling 11 weekly flights.
