Bangladesh’s flag carrier is Biman Bangladesh Airlines, a passenger airline based around the country’s primary gateway, Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in Dhaka. From this main hub, flying ties Bangladesh’s international gateways together, including Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) and Osmany International Airport (ZYL), alongside domestic airports such as Cox’s Bazar Airport (CXB), Barisal Airport (BZL), Saidpur Airport (SPD), Jessore Airport (JSR), and Shah Makhdum Airport (RJH).
For additional passenger options, US-Bangla Airlines and United Airways also serve the Bangladesh market. These carriers are relevant for travelers looking for flights centered on Dhaka and onward connections across the country’s network of airports with scheduled commercial service, helping cover routes beyond the capital when overland travel is slow or difficult.
