Riyadh Air Launches Daily Riyadh–Dhaka Flights

Riyadh Air has launched daily scheduled service between Riyadh and Dhaka, Bangladesh, beginning in August 2026, adding a new direct link between the Saudi capital and one of South Asia's busiest cities.

flight RX763 departs Riyadh at 21:20 and arrives in Dhaka at 06:10 the following day, while the return flight RX764 leaves Dhaka at 07:40 and lands in Riyadh at 10:55. The route operates every day of the week.

The service is flown using a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, a wide-body aircraft commonly used on medium- and long-haul international routes.

Why it matters

The new connection is significant for the large Bangladeshi community living and working in Saudi Arabia, offering a direct daily option between the two countries. Riyadh residents and expatriates traveling for work, family visits, or transit will find added flexibility with departures and arrivals scheduled at convenient times.

The daily frequency also strengthens Riyadh's position as a growing international travel hub and expands the range of destinations available to travelers based in the Kingdom.
