Flying from Sharjah to Chattogram
In short
Both airlines fly nonstop from Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) to Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram (CGP): Air Arabia and Biman Bangladesh Airlines. The 3,698 km flight takes about 5 hours, and it mostly carries Bangladeshi workers from Chattogram Division living in Sharjah, Ajman and Dubai.
Air Arabia or Biman?
Air Arabia flies about 14 times a week on G9520 and G9526 with Airbus A320 and A320neo aircraft; its A320 here seats 168, all economy. Biman flies BG152 once a week on a Boeing 737-800 with 162 seats. Both are five-hour narrowbody flights, so pre-book seats if sitting together matters.
Luggage is the bigger difference. Biman includes 30 kg checked against Air Arabia's 20 kg, and both cap the cabin bag at 7 kg. If you would need to buy extra weight on Air Arabia, add that before deciding which ticket is cheaper.
Air Arabia's home base and the drive from Dubai
Sharjah is Air Arabia's home. The airline has its headquarters on the airport grounds, so its whole network, Chattogram included, starts from this one terminal, about 13 km east-southeast of Sharjah city.
Coming from central Dubai, leave early. The road can take up to two hours at rush hour, and missing a check-in cut-off with a low-cost carrier usually means buying a new ticket.
Adding two hours for family pickup times
The UAE stays on UTC+4 and Bangladesh on UTC+6 all year, so a five-hour flight lands seven hours later by the local clock. Tell family to add two hours to the Sharjah departure time, then the flight, plus time for immigration and bags.
Chattogram's airport at the mouth of the Karnaphuli
Shah Amanat is Bangladesh's second-largest international airport, with one terminal split into international and domestic sections. It stands at the mouth of the Karnaphuli in Patenga, roughly 18.5 km from the railway station and about 20 km from GEC Circle, so most arrivals take a taxi or ride-hail car into town.
Bangladeshi passport holders usually clear immigration quickly. Foreign passport holders need a visa sorted before travelling, and the rules follow the passport, not where you live.
The road from Patenga runs past the port into Agrabad and its commercial quarter, where some of the hotels under Where to stay stand. GEC and Lalkhan Bazar, home to several better hotels, come later on the drive.
Biman's Sharjah to Sylhet option
Biman also links Sharjah with Sylhet. Families from that region can fly straight there and skip a long road journey from Chattogram, so compare both before booking.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Getting there
Its A320 on this route is laid out with 168 seats, all economy, in typical low-cost style. Biman's Boeing 737-800 has 162 seats. Either way the trip is a five-hour narrowbody flight, so book a seat in advance if sitting together or near the front matters to you.
Up to two hours at rush hour from central Dubai, even though the distance itself is short. Sharjah airport sits about 13 km east-southeast of Sharjah city. Low-cost check-in desks close firmly at the cut-off, and a missed flight normally means a new fare.
Fairly long. The station is roughly 18.5 km away, and GEC Circle about 20 km, because the airport sits out at Patenga on the north bank of the Karnaphuli. Most arrivals take a taxi or ride-hail car into town.
It is Bangladesh's second-largest international airport, with a single terminal split into international and domestic sections. Bangladeshi passport holders usually move through quickly.
The road from Patenga runs past the port and into Agrabad and its commercial quarter, where some of the hotels under Where to stay stand. GEC and Lalkhan Bazar, home to several of the better hotels, come later on the drive.
What's included
Ten kilos more. Biman's ticket includes 30 kg checked, Air Arabia's 20 kg, while the cabin bag is 7 kg on both. If you would need to buy extra weight on Air Arabia, add that cost before deciding which ticket is cheaper overall.
General
Sharjah is Air Arabia's home. The airline is based there and has its headquarters on the airport grounds, so its whole network, including Chattogram, starts from this one terminal. Biman, by contrast, flies in from its own base in Bangladesh.
Stay & facilities
At the upper end, two hotels under Where to stay, in Lalkhan Bazar and near GEC, both have rooftop pools. Two more suit business trips in the commercial district, and a basic but central budget hotel is on Station Road.
Families & accessibility
Tell them to add two hours, since Bangladesh is ahead. The UAE stays on UTC+4 and Bangladesh on UTC+6 all year, with no daylight saving in either. A five-hour flight therefore lands seven hours later by the local clock, plus time for immigration and bags.
Yes. Biman also links Sharjah with Sylhet, which can suit families from that region better than flying into Chattogram and travelling on by road. Compare both before booking, as the right choice depends on where in Bangladesh you are heading.
Visa & documents
Foreign passport holders need a Bangladesh visa sorted before travelling, and the rules follow your passport rather than where you live. Check the current requirements for your nationality with a Bangladesh mission. Bangladeshi citizens need only their passport.
