Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka has canceled 245 flights between February 28 and March 6, 2026, following temporary airspace closures in several Middle Eastern countries. The closures were triggered by retaliatory attacks involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. On Friday alone, 33 flights were canceled, according to airport authorities.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) reported that flight cancellations began on February 28, with 23 flights canceled that day, followed by 40 on March 1, 46 on March 2, 39 on March 3, 28 on March 4, and 36 on March 5. The affected flights included routes operated by Kuwait Airways, Jazeera Airways, Air Arabia, Qatar Airways, Fly Dubai, US-Bangla Airlines, Gulf Air, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, and Emirates.

Authorities have not indicated when normal flight operations will resume, as the situation depends on developments in Middle Eastern airspace restrictions.
