Riyadh Air on Thursday officially opened ticket sales for its daily direct flights connecting Dhaka and Riyadh, ahead of the service launch on August 7, marking a significant expansion of air connectivity between Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia.

According to a press release issued by the airline, the new route will link Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka with King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh using the carrier's Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

The daily service is expected to strengthen travel, trade, and tourism links between the two countries while providing passengers with convenient onward connections to destinations across the Middle East and Europe through Riyadh Air's growing network and codeshare partnerships.

The airline stated that the new route reflects its commitment to one of South Asia's fastest-growing aviation markets and supports the long-standing bilateral relationship between Bangladesh and Saudi Arabia.

Under the scheduled flight plan, flight RX0763 will depart Riyadh at 9:20 pm and arrive in Dhaka at 6:10 am the following day, whereas the return flight RX0764 will leave Dhaka at 7:40 am and land in Riyadh at 10:55 am, all times in local format.

Riyadh Air noted that the new service will create greater opportunities for business, leisure, and academic travel while positioning Riyadh as an important transit hub for Bangladeshi passengers travelling to international destinations, further bolstered by Bangladesh's growing outbound travel market and close economic ties with the Kingdom.

Passengers can purchase tickets through the official Riyadh Air website, mobile application, and authorised travel agents.

These flights will be operated using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners featuring four cabin classes—Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy, and Economy—fully equipped with next-generation in-flight entertainment, wireless connectivity and enhanced passenger comfort.

Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new national carrier, continues expanding its international network as part of the Kingdom's broader aviation strategy aimed at strengthening global connectivity and supporting national economic diversification and tourism goals.
