Fly Dhaka teams up with AirAsia Consulting

Fly Dhaka, an upcoming domestic airline, has recently partnered with AirAsia Consulting (AAC), according to report by Asian Aviation.
With the partnership, the new airline will receive various advisory services from AAC, an aviation consultancy arm under AirAsia Aviation Group Limited (AAAGL), said the report published online on Sunday.
Chief Executive Officer of the AAC Subashini Silvadas told the agency that the firm was excited to be able to help Fly Dhaka take flight as a new low-cost airline and help it create a strong foundation for its operations based on AirAsia's best practices as guiding principles.
"Given the low LCC (low-cost carrier) penetration of only 11 per cent in the country, both AirAsia and Fly Dhaka see huge potential in the Bangladeshi aviation industry," he said.
Established in April 2021, the consulting agency utilises AirAsia Aviation Group's vast experience, expertise and best in class performance to offer a wide range of services for airline clients.
Fly Dhaka Chief Executive Officer Lt Gen M Fazle Akbar (Retd) told the agency that AirAsia's two decades-long experience as a pioneer in the Asean region will help them learn from the very best and build capabilities to establish own robust efficient operations.
"With AirAsia Consulting's guidance, we will seek new opportunities and ultimately achieve our main goal of being recognised as the country's best low cost airline," he said.
The report also said Fly Dhaka has secured the No Objection Certificate (NOC) in October 2021 and is currently in the final stages of securing its Air Operator's Certificate (AOC).
