United Airways (BD) Ltd. was a privately owned Bangladeshi airline that operated scheduled domestic and international passenger services. Founded in the mid-2000s, it grew to become one of the larger private carriers in Bangladesh, serving routes across the country as well as select destinations in the region. The airline operated from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, its primary hub, and served destinations including Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Sylhet, and international points such as Kolkata and Dubai. It positioned itself as a key alternative to Biman Bangladesh Airlines on domestic routes.
