Direct air connectivity between Bangladesh and Pakistan is set to return, as Pakistan has granted approval to Biman Bangladesh Airlines to operate direct flights between Dhaka and Karachi.
The clearance was issued by Pakistan’s Civil Aviation Authority following approval from the federal government, paving the way for the national carrier of Bangladesh to launch services on the route as bilateral ties show signs of improvement.
According to aviation officials, Biman has been authorised to operate the flights until March 30, 2026. The airline has also received permission to use Pakistan’s airspace along designated routes.
Currently, passengers travelling between Bangladesh and Pakistan must rely on connecting flights through transit hubs such as Dubai or Doha.
