Flights on the Dhaka-Dammam route, which were suspended following recent aerial attacks in Saudi Arabia, will resume on November 7. However, considering passengers' safety, flights on this route will operate during the daytime until further instructions are given, Biman Bangladesh Airlines said.
Meanwhile, the national flag carrier has decided to keep Dhaka-Riyadh route flights suspended due to insufficient passengers.
Biman disclosed this information in a press release on Tuesday.
The release said in light of recent aerial attacks in Saudi Arabia, necessary adjustments have been made to the flight schedules for various destinations in that Royal country, considering passenger safety and the overall situation.
On the other hand, since a significant portion of the travllers heading to Riyadh are flying to Saudi Arabia using alternative routes, there is currently insufficient passenger demand on this route. For this reason, Dhaka-Riyadh-Dhaka route flights will remain suspended.
The authorities have requested passengers to contact their nearest Biman sales center for necessary information regarding tickets and travel schedules.
It may be noted that among all Bangladeshi expatriates, the largest number live in Saudi Arabia, a Middle Eastern country. This country is the largest destination for Bangladesh's manpower exports.
Amid the US-Israel war with Iran, Yemen's Tehran-backed Houthi rebels recently carried out several rounds of attacks on Saudi Arabia.
