Jhenaidah has no airport. From the airport it is another 46.4 km by road.
Not a daily route: on some days there is no flight at all. US-Bangla suspended it from 16 July 2026 and returned on 9 Sep 2026 with six flights a week (announced as two a day on Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday: from Dhaka 09:30 and 16:45, from Jashore 10:45 and 18:00; the bookable schedule for 12-18 October shows Tue 1, Wed 2, Thu 1, Sat 2). Biman flies twice a week, Tuesday and Friday evenings (from Jashore 18:15). Novoair has left the route. Flights may be cut again if demand stays low, so check the day before booking.
