US-Bangla Airlines has become the first domestic private airline to be recognised as an International Air Transport Association (IATA) airline, reports UNB.

Although several private airlines in Bangladesh have been operating in the last 27 years, it is the first time that the US-Bangla has achieved this honour and will be able to play a participatory role in world air transport. Recently the US-Bangla Airlines also acquired the IOSA certificate.
It started its journey on July 17, 2014 and is currently operating domestic flights from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar, Chattogram, Sylhet, Saidpur, Jashore, Rajshahi, Barishal. Besides, US-Bangla Airlines is operating flights to 11 international destinations in 9 countries. Currently it is operating flights to Kolkata, Chennai, Male, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Guangzhou, Sharjah, Dubai, Doha and Muscat. The US-Bangla Airlines plans to operate flights on Jeddah and Delhi routes in near future.
