US-Bangla to operate special Dhaka-Jeddah flights

Dhaka: US-Bangla Airlines will operate three special flights between Dhaka and Jeddah on October 24, 26, and 28, according to recent social media posts from the airline.

Under the published schedule, the outbound flight, BS381, will leave Dhaka at 7:15 pm to reach Jeddah at 11:59 pm. The return leg, BS382, will depart Jeddah at 2:00 am the following day and arrive in Dhaka at 11:25 am.

US-Bangla said passengers traveling to Riyadh can change their tickets to accommodate the schedule. Those interested are advised to contact their travel agent or the airline's sales counter for further assistance and ticketing details.

The special arrangement comes as the airline’s regular Dhaka-Riyadh services remain suspended following the closure of King Khalid International Airport due to repeated Houthi attacks on the facility.

Alongside the additional flights, US-Bangla's regular services between Dhaka and Jeddah will continue as usual. The private carrier currently operates seven weekly flights to the Saudi Arabian city.
