What BAH to DAC looks like
The BAH to DAC sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Manama BAH to Dhaka DAC is a long haul sector of 3,999 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,999 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 5h 19m.
Manama BAH is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 52 scheduled destinations and 99.3 departures a day. Dhaka DAC has 49 destinations and 172.2 departures a day.
Dhaka is 3 hours ahead of Manama all year.
The pair sits between Asia Pacific and the Middle East, a corridor where the site already publishes 76 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on BAH to DAC from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAH to DAC | 1.14 | 8 | Gulf Air |
| DAC to BAH | 1.14 | 8 | Gulf Air |
One carrier holds the sector, Gulf Air, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
Between them the two directions put about 16 departures a week on BAH to DAC, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 5h 19m block time on BAH to DAC. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to BAH | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At BAH before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| BAH to DAC in the air, estimated | 319 min | 9h 49m |
| Formalities at DAC | 90 min | 11h 19m |
| Delivery run in Dhaka | 45 min | 12h 04m |
| Door to door | 724 min | 12h 04m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for BAH to DAC is 12h 04m.
A courier who leaves Manama at 09:00 local is on the ground in Dhaka at about 17:19 local and at the door by 19:34 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Dhaka, the last useful departure from Manama is around 07:26 local.
At 12h 04m the mission uses most of a sixteen hour duty day, which leaves no room for a delay before a rest at the far end becomes the honest answer.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 24 of them join BAH to DAC.
| Connecting at | BAH to hub, flights a day | Hub to DAC, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sharjah SHJ | 3.43 | 6.72 | 4,021 | 6h 58m |
| Muscat MCT | 1.71 | 2.43 | 4,089 | 6h 59m |
| Dammam DMM | 4.57 | 1 | 4,166 | 7h 03m |
| Doha DOH | 6.57 | 4 | 4,061 | 7h 11m |
| Abu Dhabi AUH | 8.16 | 2.29 | 4,070 | 7h 16m |
| Delhi DEL | 2.29 | 2.29 | 4,045 | 7h 25m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BAH in the afternoon actually flies on.
24 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Sharjah SHJ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 3.4 times a day.
Through SHJ the routing covers 4,021 km against the 3,999 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 58m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 39m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Muscat MCT at 6h 59m and Dammam DMM at 7h 03m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Manama, Dammam DMM is 86 km away by great circle and carries 43 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Dhaka, Kolkata CCU is 239 km away by great circle and carries 51 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for BAH to DAC in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
