Biman Bangladesh Airlines has been granted approval by Pakistan's Civil Aviation Authority to operate a third weekly flight between Dhaka and Karachi, as reported by The Nation Business and ProPakistani on February 2, 2026. This decision is part of an effort to enhance air connectivity between Bangladesh and Pakistan, which recently resumed direct flights after a 14-year hiatus. The first flight landed on January 29, 2026, at Karachi’s Jinnah International Airport, receiving a traditional water cannon salute. Officials in Karachi have described the resumption of this route as 'an important step for improving links between the two countries' (ProPakistani). The airline currently operates two weekly flights using Boeing 737 aircraft, and the additional service will be introduced based on 'passenger demand, market factors, and operational considerations' (dunyanews.tv).
