Etihad’s new service to Dhaka from Abu Dhabi

Etihad Airways will launch a seasonal service to Dhaka, Bangladesh, from 26 June, strengthening trade and cargo links across the South Asia corridor, while responding to strong demand for travel and logistics between the two countries. The four-time weekly service to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport will strengthen linkage between Abu Dhabi and Bangladesh.

Etihad’s Boeing 777 aircraft will operate service, which will offer 28 Business and 374 Economy seats, providing significant widebody belly capacity to support growing cargo flows, alongside passenger demand, on a route that is vital for trade, business and family travel.

Antonoaldo Neves, CEO, Etihad, said, “Dhaka is an important market for us. The service will allow us to deploy capacity where it is most needed. The route plays a vital role in supporting export-driven industries, particularly in sectors such as textiles, while enhancing Abu Dhabi’s connectivity across South Asia.” 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.
