Biman Bangladesh Airlines has announced the cancellation of all flights on six major Middle Eastern routes until March 5 due to ongoing war conditions and heightened security risks in the region's airspace. The state-owned carrier made the announcement on Tuesday, citing disruptions caused by the conflict. The affected routes include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Dammam, Doha, and Kuwait. The airline’s General Manager for Public Relations, Bosra Islam, confirmed the decision.

According to the airline, the cancellations follow the temporary closure of airspace by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, and Jordan since February 28. This closure has disrupted flight schedules at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport and affected multiple international carriers. Biman stated that passengers will be informed of new schedules once the situation improves.

The airline advised travelers to stay in contact with its call center or relevant offices for updates, noting that uncertainty will persist until regional airspace tensions ease.
