Total arriving flights: 2,384
Year-over-year change: +16.52%
US-Bangla Airlines handled 2,384 arriving flights in August, a +16.52% year‑over‑year increase. Growth was supported by resilient demand on South Asian regional routes and steady labor and family travel to the Gulf. Seasonal travel around school holidays also lifted volumes, and the carrier prioritized schedule density on core city pairs to secure connectivity.
On-time arrival rate: 96.02%
Change in on-time rate: +9.55 percentage points
Cancelled arriving flights: 9
Year-over-year change: -88.75%
Punctuality reached 96.02%, with a +9.55 percentage points improvement versus last year while cancellations fell to 9 (-88.75% year‑over‑year). Monsoon weather and busy regional airspace can pressure arrival times, yet tighter turn‑time controls at Dhaka and proactive aircraft swaps helped keep the operation predictable. Additional standby crews and refined maintenance planning reduced disruption propagation across the evening and overnight banks.
Dhaka (DAC) remains the primary hub, funnelling domestic feed from Chattogram (CGP) and Sylhet (ZYL) into regional services across South Asia and the Middle East. The airline’s banked waves concentrate morning and late‑night arrivals to enable short connections. High‑frequency links on trunk routes are used to stabilize load factors and give flexibility for irregular operations.
For travelers, US-Bangla Airlines offers reliable schedules in August with punctuality in the mid‑90s, making it a solid choice for time‑sensitive trips. Passengers should still allow extra time during peak monsoon days and consider longer buffers at Dhaka when planning tight connections. Into the autumn, the carrier aims to sustain high on‑time performance, fine‑tune aircraft rotations on Gulf routes, and adjust capacity to meet festival‑season peaks.
