“Direct flights between Pakistan and Bangladesh will begin from next month, a significant leap in strengthening connectivity between the two countries,” said Dhaka's top diplomat on Wednesday (November 26, 2025).
“There has been no direct flight between Pakistan and Bangladesh for the last several years. As relations between the two countries improved this year [in 2025], two Pakistani private airlines have recently received approval for direct flights,“ the official added.
“Mahan Air will start three weekly flights between Dhaka and Karachi from next month,” Bangladesh’s High Commissioner in Islamabad, Iqbal Hussain Khan, told businessmen at Lahore Chamber of Commerce Industry (LCCI). However, he did not specify any date or other details.
