Air Sylhet plc was founded in early 2007, by British Bangladeshi businessmen from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh. Air Sylhet AG was a wholly owned Austrian airline and subsidiary of the plc which provided flights to Amritsar from Birmingham Airport with a technical stopover at Vienna.[1] Air Sylhet had obtained traffic rights to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

History

Air Sylhet plc was a registered UK public limited company which had received over £1m in investment, primarily from the UK Bangladeshi Sylheti community. Air Sylhet AG was a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Sylhet plc and obtained its Austrian AOC and Operating Licence on 29 May 2008. Formal notice of its AOC and OL has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2008/C 178/15)[2]

Operations started on 4 April 2009 using a wet-leased Boeing 757-200 from Gadair European Airlines, however, the route was suspended after just one month when the fledgling business collapsed.[3]
