Air Sylhet is a UK-based airline planning to provide flights to Bangladesh from the United Kingdom using a low-cost model. The company is a registered public limited company and hopes to obtain a Type A Operating Licence from the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority.
Founded in early 2007 by expatriate British-Bangladeshis from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh, Air Sylhet is initially providing flights using the services of ABX Air, a charter airline, through a wet lease arrangement. This approach has enabled the airline to launch services within a very short time.
Although, the airline has been founded on the basis of providing flights to Osmani International Airport in Sylhet from the UK to alleviate the misery of passengers enduring a sub-standard service from Biman Bangladesh Airlines,[1] the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh has yet to confirm that Air Sylhet (or any other foreign airline) will be given access to this lucrative route.
