Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia’s new national carrier, on Thursday announced the opening of ticket sales for daily flights between Dhaka and Riyadh for what they consider to be a key addition to its growing network.

This vital route, commencing August 7, 2026, strengthens the airline’s mission to connect the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with major global and regional hubs and deliver a world-class travel and logistics experience.

Riyadh Air’s new daily service directly connects Dhaka (DAC) and Riyadh (RUH), significantly enhancing travel options and strengthening vital ties between the nations.

This route addresses the growing demand for both business and leisure travel, fostering greater connectivity and choice between South Asia and the Middle East.

From August 7, daily flights between Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC) and King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh (RUH) will be operated by Riyadh Air’s new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, featuring unparalleled cabin interiors and experiences.

This launch demonstrates Riyadh Air’s commitment to one of South Asia’s fast-growing aviation markets.
