Etihad Airways will launch a seasonal route to Dhaka, Bangladesh, starting June 26, 2026, through October 24, 2026. The four-times-weekly service to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport operates on Boeing 777 aircraft, each with 28 business class seats and 374 economy seats, plus capacity for cargo in the belly hold.
The schedule includes flight EY382 departing Abu Dhabi at 22:00 local time, arriving Dhaka at 04:50 the next day on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Return flight EY383 leaves Dhaka at 21:35 local time, arriving Abu Dhabi at 00:40 the next day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.
The route responds to demand from the large Bangladeshi community in the UAE and Bangladesh’s export economy, especially garments and textiles. Etihad CEO Antonoaldo Neves called Dhaka a strategically important market with strong passenger and cargo demand. The service supports exporters shipping to the Middle East, Europe and North America, while enabling connections from the UK, Italy and North America through Abu Dhabi.
