A total of 367 international flights have been canceled at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka since February 28, 2026, due to the ongoing war situation in the Middle East. The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh confirmed that 32 flights were canceled on Tuesday alone. Countries including Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan have closed their airspace, disrupting air connectivity from Bangladesh.

According to official data, 335 flights were canceled in the first ten days, with daily cancellations ranging from 23 to 46 flights. Airlines affected include Kuwait Airways, Air Arabia, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Jazeera, Flydubai, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, and US-Bangla Airlines. The cancellations have caused uncertainty for expatriate Bangladeshis facing visa complications and travel disruptions.

US-Bangla Airlines announced plans to resume flights on the Sharjah route from March 13 and the Abu Dhabi route from March 14, operating multiple weekly flights using Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The airline continues to operate flights to Dubai, Jeddah, Riyadh, and Muscat and plans to restart services to Doha soon.
