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.
Bellyhold capacity
Operated by Etihad’s Boeing 777 aircraft, the service will offer significant widebody bellyhold capacity to support growing cargo flows, alongside passenger demand, on a route that is critical for trade, business connectivity and family travel.
“This service allows us to deploy capacity where it is most needed, strengthening links between Bangladesh, the UAE and key global markets,” stated Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer, Etihad
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 international markets.
