ATT Desk Report 
US-Bangla Airlines, one of the country’s private carriers, has resumed normal flight operations across all its Middle East routes following recent disruptions linked to regional instability, the airline said on Wednesday.
The carrier said services had been affected since late February due to ongoing conflict and related restrictions in parts of the Middle East, which also disrupted schedules for multiple international airlines. With conditions now improving, US-Bangla has restored regular operations to its key destinations in the region, according to local media reports.
Flights are currently operating to Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Doha, Riyadh and Jeddah, reconnecting Bangladesh with major labour and transit hubs. The latest development is the resumption of the Dhaka–Doha route from April 23, with daily departures from Dhaka in the evening and same-day return services from Doha.
Top officials of the airline said its Middle East network is structured to optimise connectivity. Direct flights operate between Dhaka and Muscat, while return services from Muscat route via Chattogram. Flights to Dubai also operate via Chattogram, while Abu Dhabi services run six days a week and Sharjah flights four times weekly.
In Saudi Arabia, the carrier operates flights to Riyadh five days a week and to Jeddah three days weekly, catering primarily to Bangladeshi expatriate workers and religious travellers.
US-Bangla said most routes are served by Boeing 737-800 aircraft, while higher-capacity Airbus A330-300 aircraft are deployed on routes to Saudi Arabia. The airline currently operates a fleet of 25 aircraft, including wide-body and narrow-body jets.
The resumption of full operations is expected to ease travel for migrant workers and help meet passenger demand between Bangladesh and the Middle East, a key aviation market for the country.
The airline added that it is planning to expand its network further, with prospective services to Madinah and Dammam in the near future.
