Following U.S. and Israeli attacks in Iran, hundreds of passengers bound for the Middle East have been stranded at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. Since Saturday, 54 flights to destinations including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Italy have been canceled due to temporary airspace closures and security risks. Many travelers now face visa expiry and missed connections, with some unable to contact airlines or travel agencies for updates.
Civil Aviation and Tourism State Minister M. Rashiduzzaman Millat said the suspended flights would be rescheduled and passengers given sufficient time to travel. He added that the ministry, in coordination with other government bodies, is monitoring the situation to minimize passenger hardship. The Prime Minister is reportedly overseeing passenger welfare, including food and accommodation arrangements.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines announced that flights to all Middle Eastern destinations except Doha, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi will operate on schedule. US-Bangla Airlines resumed flights to Riyadh, Jeddah, and Muscat but temporarily suspended services to the UAE and Qatar until conditions improve.
