Flying from Dhaka to Sharjah
In short
Multiple airlines fly nonstop from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC) to Sharjah International Airport (SHJ): Air Arabia, US-Bangla Airlines and Biman Bangladesh Airlines. The 3,521 km flight takes about 4 hours 55 minutes. For workers and families living in Sharjah, Ajman and the northern emirates, Sharjah is often closer to home than Dubai.
Air Arabia's home airport
Sharjah is Air Arabia's base, and the low-cost airline flies Airbus A320-family jets on this route. Its A320 has 168 economy seats and no business cabin. Air Arabia lists 20 kg of checked baggage here, while US-Bangla and Biman allow 30 kg; all of them cap the cabin bag at 7 kg. If you are moving with a full suitcase, that difference may settle the choice.
Biman's Sharjah service from Dhaka calls at Chittagong on the way, so it is a through flight without a change of plane, not a nonstop; Biman also links Sharjah with Sylhet. Air Arabia and Biman both list Chittagong, which saves families in the south-east a domestic connection on the way home.
Sharjah's single passenger terminal
Everything at Sharjah runs through a single passenger terminal, which handled 17,101,725 passengers in 2024. When Gulf school holidays and Eid travel coincide, arrive early for the flight home.
Road times to Sharjah city and Dubai
The airport lies about 13 km east-south-east of Sharjah city and roughly 15 km by road from central Dubai. On a clear road the Dubai run takes about 15 minutes; at rush hour it has been known to take up to two hours, so land with a margin if you have a shift or meeting.
UAE work and visit visas
UAE entry rules depend on nationality. Some passports get a visa on arrival; others, including Bangladeshi citizens, need a work or visit visa issued before travel. Carry a passport valid for at least six months. Sharjah keeps UTC+4, two hours behind Dhaka.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General
Sharjah is Air Arabia's home airport, so the low-cost carrier's whole network fans out from it. Everything runs through a single passenger terminal, and for anyone living in the northern emirates the airport is simply closer to home.
Yes. Because you gain two hours heading west, a flight of just under five hours touches down less than three hours later by the local clock, so the calendar date does not change.
Not on the A320 used here, which is laid out with 168 economy seats and nothing else. If you want a premium seat, ask Biman or US-Bangla what their aircraft offer on the date you plan to travel.
Yes. Air Arabia and Biman both list Chittagong among their Sharjah destinations, which saves families in the south-east a domestic connection or a long road trip after landing.
Not nonstop. Biman's Dhaka to Sharjah flight calls at Chittagong on the way, so you stay on the same aircraft but land once before Sharjah. Check the routing on your booking.
Cancellations & changes
Sharjah runs 2 hours behind Dhaka. The Emirates keep UTC+4 and Bangladesh UTC+6, and Bangladesh has kept one clock since a brief clock-change trial in 2009.
Getting there
On a clear road the 15 km run to central Dubai can take about 15 minutes. At peak hours the same trip has been known to take up to two hours, so land with a margin if you have a meeting or a shift to reach.
Biman lists Sylhet among its Sharjah destinations, so travellers from the north-east can often skip Dhaka altogether. Check the routing on your ticket, because the Sylhet and Dhaka services are separate flights.
What's included
No. The 20 kg covers the hold only, and a 7 kg cabin bag is allowed on top. Biman and US-Bangla also cap the cabin bag at 7 kg, so the real difference between the carriers is in the checked luggage.
Booking
More than 17 million a year. It handled 17,101,725 passengers in 2024, up from just over 15 million the year before, all through one terminal. Early arrival for the return flight is sensible when Gulf school holidays and Eid travel coincide.
