Biman keeps Dhaka-Riyadh flights suspended until November 30

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has decided to keep the Dhaka to Riyadh service suspended, citing passenger safety concerns in the wake of recent airstrikes in Saudi Arabia. The airline’s statement attributes the suspension to the current safety situation, without providing a specific end date beyond the stated suspension, and notes that no additional details about duration were supplied. This information is drawn from Daily Bonik Barta’s coverage of the decision and rationale.

In related follow-up material, eTurboNews reports that a nationwide strike is planned in Spain for November 11, 2026, with expectations of broad disruption across aviation, rail, and hospitality sectors. The report indicates travelers should anticipate disruptions at airports, train services, and hotels, though it does not specify which airports or lines will be most affected or provide exact timing. The strike is framed as a broad action intended to impact multiple transportation modes.

Additional eTurboNews coverage reiterates that the November 11 disruption is described as nationwide and broad in scope, affecting flight operations, rail services, and airport-related activity. The material emphasizes that participating unions, specific airports, train operators, or airlines are not identified, and there are no casualty details or quoted statements in the material.

Cyprus Mail covers an earthquake-centered event timing that affected Ramon Airport in southern Israel. Flights were suspended at Ramon while authorities carried out inspection and infrastructure checks following a tremor centered near the Eilat region. The report notes the tremor was located about 30 kilometers (roughly 20 miles) south of Eilat and that Ramon’s suspension was ordered by the Israel Airports Authority for safety reviews, while Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv remained fully operational and unfazed by the Eilat tremor.

The Times of Israel identifies a separate aviation accident linked to the Ramon area, describing a West Coast Helicopters Hughes 500 on a forestry mission that crashed, resulting in the death of the pilot and one worker, with a third occupant seriously injured. The Times of Israel’s framing places this incident as distinct from the earthquake-related checks at Ramon Airport, focusing on the fatal crash on the same day.

TravelMole reports that Naples Capodichino International Airport remained closed to all flight operations at the start of November 2026 to undergo a €30 million runway and taxiway overhaul. The closure began on November 1 and affects domestic and international traffic, with some flights redirected to Salerno Airport and passengers advised to verify arrangements with airlines. Ground transport adjustments, including special bus connections from Salerno, were noted as part of the response plan.

Travel Trade Journal notes that Spain’s November 11 nationwide strike is expected to impact Madrid-Barajas Adolfo Suárez and Barcelona–El Prat as major hubs with reduced capacity on the strike day. The reporting highlights that rail services are also anticipated to be affected and that aviation, rail, and related services would experience disruptions across the country, though specific flight numbers or schedules are not enumerated.

Wales Online provides a regional view of the Spain action, describing a 24-hour general strike backed by unions UGT and CCOO protesting housing costs and working conditions. It suggests Madrid would see only limited guaranteed domestic flights, with international and island services potentially more affected, and notes that airlines are adjusting schedules and offering flexible rebooking options.

Travel Market Report confirms that airlines have begun issuing waivers for flights serving Madrid and Barcelona in anticipation of the strike, aligning with broader expectations of reduced operations on the strike day. The reports emphasize planning considerations for passengers but do not supply detailed route-by-route flight data or times.

Rus Tourism News adds context by describing broader disruption patterns, including AREX’s planning updates for reducing all-stop services to Incheon International Airport on November 13, 2026, while express services continue to operate. The coverage situates the Spain strike within a wider transport-disruption environment, though it does not connect these actions to the Eilat/Ramon event.

The Times of Israel, Cyprus Mail, and CBC corroborate the Ramon Airport suspension as part of the inspections following the Eilat-area tremor, with Ben Gurion Airport continuing normal operations. The CBC synthesis also ties into Porter Airlines’ winter expansion coverage, though it emphasizes the Ramon checks as the operational response to the tremor rather than a Porter-related development.
