Etihad Airways will launch a seasonal service to Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 26 June 2026, strengthening trade and cargo links across the South Asia corridor, while responding to strong and sustained demand for travel and logistics between the UAE and Bangladesh.
The four-times weekly service to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) will strengthen connectivity between Abu Dhabi and Bangladesh, while supporting the continued expansion of cargo flows alongside passenger demand across the airline’s global network, with Abu Dhabi serving as a key gateway for trade between South Asia and international markets.
Operated by Etihad’s Boeing 777 aircraft, the service will offer 28 Business and 374 Economy seats, providing significant widebody belly hold capacity to support growing cargo flows, alongside passenger demand, on a route that is critical for trade, business connectivity and family travel.
The service forms part of Etihad’s phased approach to rebuilding and expanding its network, with capacity deployed in line with demand across key markets.
The UAE is home to one of the largest Bangladeshi communities in the world, and the new service will provide a direct and efficient link for families, alongside seamless onward connections via Abu Dhabi.
Bangladesh continues to see strong economic growth, underpinned by its globally significant garment and textile sector. The introduction of widebody capacity on the route will enable the reliable and efficient movement of cargo, particularly for Bangladesh’s garment and textile sector, supporting exporters with improved access to markets across the Middle East, Europe and North America.
The seasonal service will also open valuable connections for the significant Bangladeshi diaspora communities in the United Kingdom, Italy and North America, who will be able to travel via Abu Dhabi to Dhaka with ease. The route will serve both point-to-point travellers between Abu Dhabi and Dhaka, as well as those connecting beyond.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
