US-Bangla to Operate Special Flights for Stranded Bangladeshis in UAE

US-Bangla Airlines has announced two special flights on the Dhaka-Dubai route to repatriate Bangladeshi expatriates currently stranded in the United Arab Emirates. The move comes as a response to the ongoing situation in the Middle East.

The first flight is scheduled to depart Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) today, Wednesday, at 7:20 PM. The return flight will leave Dubai for Dhaka at 12:20 AM local time.

A second special flight will depart Dhaka tomorrow, Thursday, at 5:15 PM, with the return leg scheduled to leave Dubai at 10:00 PM local time.

US-Bangla will utilize a 436-seat Airbus A330-300 for these operations. The flight numbers are BS-341 (Dhaka-Dubai) and BS-342 (Dubai-Dhaka).

In light of the regional situation, the Dubai Airport Authority has granted special flight permissions to select carriers, including US-Bangla Airlines, Emirates, and Air India.

The airline confirmed that priority will be given to passengers whose visas have already expired or are nearing expiration. Travelers are advised to contact US-Bangla sales centers or authorized travel agencies in Bangladesh and the UAE for bookings and further information.
