Flying from Dhaka to Rome
In short
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is the only airline flying nonstop from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC) to Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO). The Boeing 787-9 covers the 7,321 km in about 10 hours, and the route exists largely for the Bangladeshi community in Italy, about 200,000 people in 2023.
Biman's return to Rome
Biman brought the Rome service back in March 2024 after a nine-year break. The 787-9 has 30 business seats, 21 in premium economy and 247 in economy, and the premium economy cabin is worth pricing for older relatives on a flight of ten hours. The checked allowance is 46 kg, with 7 kg in the cabin, which suits anyone moving out to work or study. The same aircraft continues from Rome to Toronto, so some passengers on board are flying on to Canada.
Bangladeshi communities in Rome and beyond
Many passengers are heading to relatives in Lazio. Tor Pignattara in eastern Rome, which residents call Banglatown, has Bangladeshi-run shops along its main streets, and further communities live in Lombardy, Veneto and Sicily. Bangladeshis have been settling in Rome since the 1980s.
Schengen visa or residence permit for Italy
Italy is in the Schengen area. Travellers who are not EU citizens or Schengen visa-exempt need an Italian visa or Italian residence permit before Biman will board them, plus a passport valid for at least six months. Bangladeshi citizens fall in that group. Check the rules for your passport with the Italian consulate or the Italian foreign ministry's visa site.
Leonardo Express from Fiumicino to Termini
Fiumicino is on the coast, about 30 km from the city. The Leonardo Express runs nonstop to Roma Termini in roughly 32 minutes, where you can change for the metro or regional trains. Rome's second airport, Ciampino, handles low-cost and charter flights only, so anyone meeting you should head to FCO. Italy moves to summer time from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October, when Rome is four hours behind Dhaka; in winter the gap is five hours.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General
Yes. The 787-9 has 21 premium economy seats between 30 in business and 247 in economy. On a ten-hour flight that middle cabin is worth pricing, especially for older relatives.
About 200,000 people in 2023, counting those without papers, with 150,692 legal residents at the start of 2022. That community is the main reason Biman reopened the nonstop.
Lazio, around Rome, along with Lombardy and Veneto in the north. Sicily also has a sizeable community. Rome is the natural landing point for the first of those.
Timing & weather
Because Italy changes its clocks and Bangladesh does not. From the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October Rome is four hours behind Dhaka; the rest of the year it is five. Recheck pick-up times around those dates.
In Terminal 3, the largest building, which has a satellite for flights leaving the Schengen area. Check the terminal on your boarding pass and allow time for passport control before you reach the gate, since Dhaka counts as a non-Schengen destination.
Since the 1980s. The Rome community grew around twentyfold between late 1989 and mid-1990 and had reached an estimated 10,000 by 1995, long before a direct flight existed.
Getting there
Yes. Rome Fiumicino Leonardo da Vinci International is its full name, and you will see either on signs and tickets. The code is FCO in both cases.
No. Ciampino is Rome's older, smaller airport, now used mainly by some low-cost, domestic and charter flights. Biman flies to Fiumicino, so make sure anyone meeting you heads to FCO.
It does, and at 7,321 km each way it adds up quickly. Enrol before travel and give your membership number when you book.
Booking
Fiumicino handled 49,203,734 passengers in 2024 and passed 50 million in 2025. Give yourself a good margin at check-in for the flight back.
