Riyadh Air will launch daily direct flights between the Saudi capital and Dhaka starting 7 August 2026, connecting King Khalid International Airport (RUH) with Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in Bangladesh.
The new route will be operated with Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Under the current schedule, the outbound flight departs Riyadh at 21:20 and arrives in Dhaka at 06:10 the following day, while the return flight leaves Dhaka at 07:40 and lands in Riyadh at 10:55.
Travellers on this route can choose from four cabins: Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy, and Economy. Bookings can be made through the Riyadh Air app, the Riyadh Air website, and preferred travel providers and platforms.
The new connection is significant for Riyadh's large Bangladeshi community, offering a direct daily link between the two cities and easing travel for workers, families, and visitors. A daily wide-body service is also expected to expand seat capacity and travel options between Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh.
