UAE Carrier Expands South Asia Presence With New Bangladesh Service
Etihad Airways is introducing a seasonal route to Dhaka, Bangladesh, this summer, aiming to capitalize on both passenger traffic and cargo demand. The service, which begins on June 26, 2026, and runs through October 24, 2026, will operate four times weekly on Boeing 777 widebody aircraft, offering substantial belly hold capacity for freight. The route is seen as a strategic move to connect the UAE with Bangladesh, a key market with strong trade and diaspora ties, as reported by AeroTime.
