DHAKA, June 24, 2025 (BSS) - Commercial flight operations on several Middle Eastern routes from Bangladesh resumed today as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Kuwait, and Bahrain reopened their airspace following a temporary suspension amid the prevailing global situation.

The airspace of these countries was reopened at 3:00 AM Bangladesh time today, allowing regular inbound and outbound flights from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) to Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait City, and Bahrain to operate without disruption, the HSIA Authority said here this morning. 

Airlines operating on these routes have resumed normal schedules, and passengers have been advised to contact respective airline offices or travel agencies to obtain updated flight information and make necessary travel arrangements, said the airport authority. 

The HSIA authority urged all travelers to complete necessary formalities in advance to ensure smooth departures and arrivals.
