Kuwait to Dhaka flight guide
Flying from Kuwait to Dhaka
In short
Various airlines fly nonstop from Kuwait International Airport (KWI) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC): Kuwait Airways, Jazeera Airways and Biman Bangladesh Airlines. The 4,241 km flight takes about 5 hours 50 minutes, and most seats go to Bangladeshi workers heading home on leave, often with a hold full of gifts.
Kuwait Airways, Biman or Jazeera by baggage
Kuwait Airways and Biman both fly the Boeing 777-300ER and include 30 kg of checked baggage. Jazeera Airways flies the Airbus A320neo and includes 20 kg. All of them allow 7 kg in the cabin. Kuwait Airways has the most departures, about nine a week on KU283 and KU285; Jazeera has about seven and Biman two.
On a flight of almost six hours, many people prefer a wide-body. Biman's 777-300ER has 419 seats and Kuwait Airways' typically around 360, against about 180 on Jazeera's single-aisle A320neo.
Terminal changes at Kuwait airport this year
The airport is about 15.5 km south of the city centre in Farwaniya Governorate. Confirm your terminal a day before flying, because the arrangement has shifted this year.
Terminal 1 reopened on 1 June 2026 but closed again the next day after damage. Many airlines that used it have moved, and Kuwait Airways' Terminal 4, built for 4.5 million passengers a year, now handles others too. Jazeera has its own Terminal 5, opened on 22 May 2018 and joined to the main building; tell anyone dropping you off it is the Jazeera terminal. The new Foster-designed Terminal 2 is targeted for the last quarter of 2026, a date that has moved before, so do not assume your flight will use it until the airline says so.
Telling family when to leave for the airport
Bangladesh is three hours ahead of Kuwait. Kuwait keeps UTC+3 and Bangladesh UTC+6, and neither changes for summer. Add three hours plus the flight length to the departure time when telling family when to leave for the airport.
Gulf arrivals bunching at Shahjalal
Several Gulf flights often land close together, so give immigration and the baggage belts time. Terminal 3 opened in a first stage on 7 October 2023 and is due for a soft opening on 16 December 2026, with full operations expected in March or April 2027, so you may well arrive through the older halls. When fully working, the airport can handle 24 million passengers a year against 8 million now.
Kurmitola, where the airport sits, is about 17 km from central Dhaka. Airport Railway Station across the road has trains toward Kamalapur and beyond, useful if family lives outside the capital. The raised toll expressway from Kawla reaches Farmgate after 11.5 km, with a Karwan Bazar ramp since March 2024; the phase towards Moghbazar and Kutubkhali is still being built, so trips to the south finish on ordinary roads.
BRTC has run a cheap bus on the expressway between the airport and Farmgate since 18 September 2023, but with 30 kg of luggage most workers find a car or a relative waiting outside easier.
For a domestic flight onward, the single-storey domestic terminal sits to the left of the international buildings, home to Biman, US-Bangla, Novoair and Air Astra. Collect bags and clear customs first, and leave a good gap in case several Gulf flights land at once.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
About 15.5 km south of the city centre, in Farwaniya Governorate. Anyone living in Farwaniya itself has a short trip, while those coming from the city or further afield should leave time for traffic.
It reopened on 1 June 2026 but closed again the next day after damage. Many airlines that used it have been moved, and Kuwait Airways' Terminal 4, built for 4.5 million passengers a year, now handles others too. Check the terminal in your booking a day before you fly.
The Boeing 777-300ERs used by Kuwait Airways and Biman are twin-aisle jets, Biman's with 419 seats and Kuwait Airways' typically around 360. Jazeera's Airbus A320neo is a single-aisle jet of about 180 seats. On a flight of almost six hours, many people prefer the extra space of a wide-body.
Take the raised toll expressway from Kawla next to the airport. The open stretch reaches Farmgate after 11.5 km and has a Karwan Bazar ramp since March 2024. The next phase towards Moghbazar and Kutubkhali is still being built, so the last part of a trip south runs on ordinary roads.
At the domestic terminal, a single-storey building to the left of the international terminals at Hazrat Shahjalal. Domestic carriers based there include Biman, US-Bangla, Novoair and Air Astra. Collect your bags and clear customs first, and leave a good gap in case several Gulf flights land at once.
Timing & weather
Possibly. The new Terminal 2 is targeted for the last quarter of 2026. The building has had its target date moved before, so do not assume your flight will use it until the airline confirms. Until then, departures are split between the existing terminals.
General
Jazeera Airways has its own terminal, opened on 22 May 2018, but it is joined to the main building. If someone is dropping you off, tell them it is the Jazeera terminal, since going to the wrong door still means a walk with heavy bags.
Only in part. It opened in a first stage on 7 October 2023 and is still being completed, so you may well arrive through the older halls. When it is fully working, the airport will be able to handle 24 million passengers a year rather than 8 million.
Families & accessibility
Bangladesh is three hours ahead. Kuwait keeps UTC+3 and Bangladesh UTC+6, and neither changes for summer. Add three hours plus the flight length to your Kuwait departure time to tell the family at home when to leave for the airport.
Prices & payment
BRTC has run a bus on the expressway between the airport and Farmgate since 18 September 2023. It is cheap, but with 30 kg of checked luggage and a cabin bag, most workers find a car, or a relative waiting outside, much easier.
