Singapore Airlines (SQ) has expressed interest in doubling its weekly flight frequency on the Dhaka (DAC)–Singapore (SIN) route, citing rising passenger demand between the two countries.
The proposal was raised by Singapore’s Chargé d’Affaires Mitchel Lee during a meeting with Bangladeshi officials on April 8, 2025.
The diplomatic discussion took place at the office of Bangladesh’s Expatriates’ Welfare and Overseas Employment State Minister Nurul Haque in Dhaka (DAC). Beyond aviation, both sides also addressed bilateral cooperation on manpower export and labor mobility.
Singapore Airlines Dhaka Flights
Singapore Airlines (SQ) currently operates daily nonstop flights between Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) and Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), with flight SQ447 departing Dhaka daily and SQ446 returning from Singapore.
The airline’s proposal to double this frequency reflects growing travel and labor migration demand on the corridor. The route is currently served by three airlines, with a total of 24 weekly flights, and the nonstop flight takes approximately four hours and 15 minutes.
Singapore’s envoy highlighted the need to strengthen air connectivity between the two nations to support both business travel and the large Bangladeshi workforce based in Singapore.
