Saudi Arabia’s new national carrier, Riyadh Air, has opened ticket sales for its daily direct flights between Dhaka and Riyadh, with operations scheduled to begin on August 7, marking a significant step in strengthening air connectivity between Bangladesh and the Kingdom.
The new service will link Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in Dhaka with King Khalid International Airport (RUH) in Riyadh, catering to rising demand for business, leisure and transit travel between South Asia and the Gulf region while offering convenient onward connections to destinations across West Asia and Europe.
Riyadh Air said the route will be operated using its state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, featuring modern cabin interiors, enhanced passenger comfort and upgraded onboard services.
According to the published schedule, flight RX0763 will depart Riyadh at 9:20 pm local time and arrive in Dhaka at 6:10 am the following day.
The return service, RX0764, will leave Dhaka at 7:40 am and land in Riyadh at 10:55 am local time.
Tickets are now available through the airline’s official website, mobile application and authorised travel agents.
Passengers can also enrol as founding members of Riyadh Air’s loyalty programme, Sfeer, to enjoy benefits including a Best Offer Guarantee, complimentary onboard Wi-Fi and reward points from their first journey.
The airline said the Dhaka route represents another milestone in the expansion of its international network and reflects Saudi Arabia’s broader efforts to enhance global connectivity.
Highlighting the longstanding diplomatic and economic ties between Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia, Riyadh Air said the new service is expected to boost business travel, tourism and people-to-people exchanges while providing Bangladeshi travellers with easier access to Riyadh and seamless onward connections through the airline’s growing global network and codeshare partnerships.
