Air Arabia Abu Dhabi, the capital’s first low-cost carrier, has announced the introduction of a new service to Bangladesh’s port city of Chattogram from October 11.

The twice-a-week direct flights from Abu Dhabi offers greater connectivity between the two countries, the airline said in a statement on Thursday.

Chattogram joins Air Arabia Abu Dhabi’s growing network in Bangladesh with current flights connecting Abu Dhabi with Dhaka.
