Biman extends Dhaka-Riyadh flight suspension until 30 November
Biman Bangladesh Airlines has extended the suspension of regular flights between Dhaka and Riyadh until 30 November due to airport security concerns in Saudi Arabia.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines has extended the suspension of its scheduled flights on the Dhaka-Riyadh-Dhaka route until 30 November, citing ongoing passenger safety concerns following recent airstrikes on Saudi airports. The national flag carrier announced the decision in an official statement on Wednesday.
While direct services to Riyadh remain halted, Biman confirmed that regular flights to Jeddah, Dammam and Madinah will continue operating as normal. The airline had initially grounded Riyadh and Dammam flights in mid-October following airport attacks, before temporarily pausing services again after a strike on King Fahd International Airport.
Passengers affected by the Riyadh route suspension have been advised to contact the nearest Biman sales office for rebooking assistance and updated travel arrangements.
