Air Bangladesh was a Bangladeshi airline that operated international charter and scheduled services. The carrier was established in the early 2000s and aimed to provide air links between Bangladesh and destinations in Europe and the Middle East.
The airline faced significant operational and financial difficulties and struggled to maintain consistent scheduled services. It held an Air Operator's Certificate in Bangladesh but its active operations were limited and intermittent over the course of its existence.
Air Bangladesh is generally considered to have ceased meaningful operations, with its IATA code B9 and ICAO code BGD assigned during its operational period. The airline never grew into a major carrier and remained a minor player in the Bangladeshi aviation market.
Hubs & network
Air Bangladesh primarily operated out of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
Fleet
The airline operated a small fleet that included Boeing 747 wide-body aircraft during its limited charter operations.
