All flights from Bangladesh to the Middle East have been suspended due to escalating conflict and tension in the region, leaving thousands of passengers stranded at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Many of the affected travelers are expatriate workers and passengers with connecting flights to Europe and America. On Saturday night, Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment Minister Ariful Haque Chowdhury visited the airport to assess the situation and oversee assistance measures.
During a press briefing, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman called the minister to inquire about the condition of stranded passengers and the government’s response. The minister assured him that the ministry and the Civil Aviation Authority were jointly arranging food and accommodation for the affected travelers. According to Ariful Haque, 50 passengers were housed under the ministry’s management, while Civil Aviation arranged lodging for 800 more.
Flights remain suspended following the closure of Middle Eastern airspace, including Iran’s, and the government has organized hotel stays and transport for passengers whose flights were canceled. The resumption of flights remains uncertain until the regional situation improves.
