Air Bangladesh was an airline based in Bangladesh. It was founded in 2000 and dissolved in 2005.[1]

History

As of 2006, Air Bangladesh was banned from entering EU airspace. The reasons for this decision were safety deficiencies, as well as poor transparency of the airline's operations.[2] the Commission assessed that Air Bangladesh should be submitted to a strict operational restriction.[3]

Fleet

Air Bangladesh (no relation to Biman Bangladesh Airlines) operated only one older jet aircraft, a Boeing 747-269B(SF) (registration S2-ADT). The aircraft was acquired by Air Bangladesh in August 2004 and was still painted in basic Kalitta Air colors.
