The Biman Bangladesh Airlines has extended the suspension of regular flights on the Dhaka-Riyadh-Dhaka route until 30 November, citing the security situation following recent airstrikes in Saudi Arabia and concerns over passenger safety.

In a press release issued on Wednesday, the national flag carrier said its previously announced decisions on Saudi Arabia-bound flights would remain in effect until 30 November.

Regular flights on the Dhaka-Riyadh-Dhaka route will remain suspended until then and will not resume until further notice, the release said.

However, flights on the Dhaka-Jeddah-Dhaka, Dhaka-Dammam-Dhaka and Dhaka-Madinah-Dhaka routes will continue according to the previously announced decisions and schedules.

Biman has advised passengers to contact the nearest airline sales centre for updated information on tickets and travel arrangements.

Biman initially suspended flights on both the Dhaka-Riyadh and Dhaka-Dammam routes until 17 October following attacks on Saudi airports.

It subsequently extended the suspension, while later resuming Dammam services.

The airline also temporarily suspended Dammam flights on 23-25 October following an attack on King Fahd International Airport.

On 25 October, Biman extended the suspension of both Riyadh and Dammam flights until 4 November, citing passenger safety amid continued attacks on Saudi airports.
