An extra two scheduled flights a week have been launched, operating on Tuesdays and Saturdays, to take frequency up from five services. The new schedules mean greater connection opportunities to Europe, Middle East and Africa over Qatar Airways' hub in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf.

Qatar Airways is continuing to use its state-of-the-art Airbus A330 on the route, with a two-class cabin of 22 seats in Business and 259 in Economy. The extra capacity on the route follows the conclusion of bilateral discussions in Dhaka recently where a high level delegation of government officials from Qatar and Bangladesh held talks about increasing trade between both countries.

“The breakthrough in the bilaterals between our two governments enables us to now serve Dhaka with a greater number of flights and this is good news for the travelling public as it offers more choice and greater options to fly to destinations further afield,” said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker.
