Royal Bengal Airline plans flights to Dhaka from Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester
24.02.07
A new airline is looking to begin flights between the UK and Bangladesh. Royal Bengal Airline, an airline to be launch by British-born Bangladeshis, held a seminar at a hotel in Oldham last week to introduce plans that will see new air links to Dhaka from Stansted, Birmingham and Manchester.
Start dates are yet to be confirmed, and the main purpose of the seminar was to raise additional funds for the airline, but a provisional timetable indicates that the Birmingham and Stansted flights will depart the UK at between 08:30 and 09:00. Royal Bengal also plans to launch domestic and regional air services in Bangladesh 'within the next couple of months'.
A spokesman explained the motivation behind the airline: 'The founding members as well as frequent travellers to Bangladesh are not only frustrated by the primitive services offered by existing airlines but were also inspired by the belief that a new British Bangladeshi-owned airline could revolutionise the air travel experience in south-east Asia.'
