US-Bangla to expand wings in Europe, North America

The US-Bangla Airlines plans to operate flights to London, Rome, and Amsterdam by 2023 and expand its wings on New York and Toronto routes by 2025.

The private airline company came up with the fresh announcement through a press release on Saturday, on the eve of its eighth anniversary of entering the aviation business.

On July 17, 2014, US-Bangla started its first flight on Dhaka- Jashore route with Dash8-Q400 aircraft.

US-Bangla Airlines General Manager (Public Relations) Md Kamrul Islam said the airline has also plans to operate flights to Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam, Madina, Abu Dhabi and Delhi soon.

Besides, he said, they have plans to add four Boeing 737-800 and three brand new ATR 72-600 aircraft to the US-Bangla fleet this year.

The US-Bangla fleet currently has a total of 16 aircraft.

“We are ready to take on any kind of competitive challenge. In today's world, there is no substitute for brand new aircraft to provide proper service to passengers,” said Mohammed Abdullah Al Mamun, managing director of the airline company.

“US-Bangla is constantly adding new aircraft to the fleet to ensure comfortable service for passengers,” he added.
