A total of 391 international flights have been canceled from Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport over the past 11 days due to the ongoing war situation in the Middle East. The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) confirmed the cancellations in a press release issued on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. On that day alone, 24 flights were canceled, including services by Kuwait Airways, Air Arabia, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Jazeera, and Flydubai.

According to the CAAB, flight disruptions began on February 28, when 23 flights were canceled, followed by 40 on March 1, 46 on March 2, and 39 on March 3. The cancellations continued daily through March 11, affecting routes primarily to Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Oman. Despite the disruptions, limited operations are continuing, with 39 flights scheduled for March 11, including eight to Muscat, 19 to Kuwait, and 12 to the UAE.

The cancellations have significantly affected international travel from Dhaka, particularly to Middle Eastern destinations, as airlines adjust to the regional conflict.
