United Airways' more flights from next month

Amid increased customer demands, United Airways (BD) is planning to raise the number of its flights on domestic routes early next month by adding another aircraft to its fleet.
"We are adding a new aircraft considering the increased demands from our passengers. We are hopeful to put the new aircraft in operation by February 1," said Md Kamrul Islam, a spokesman of the private airline that started off with a single Dash 8-100 aircraft on July 10 last year.
Meanwhile, all flights of the carrier will remain suspended today and tomorrow for maintenance work.
"We will conduct a maintenance programme during the period. We will resume our regular operations on Tuesday, Islam said.
The carrier, a venture of the Non-resident Bangladeshis, is now operating three flights to Chittagong, two flights to Sylhet, one flight to Jessore daily and three flights to Cox's Bazar a week, according to a press release.
"We will soon announce five flights to Chittagong, three flights to Sylhet, two flights to Jessore, and one to Cox's Bazar, Barisal and Rajshahi," Islam said.
"We have already carried 35,000 passengers operating 1600 flights in the last six months," he said.
The company earlier said it had invested Tk 50 crore in the aviation sector.
With the Tk 100 crore authorised capital, the company has plans to invest Tk 2000 crore over the next five years in the business, according to its Chairman and Managing Director Tasbirul Ahmed Choudhury.
