Traveling By plane

Air travel in Bangladesh is very affordable and convenient.
There are airports in all of the division capitals and in Jessore, Cox's Bazar and some other small cities. Most of the domestic airports are served by either Biman Air , the national airline, or GMG Airlines , their private competitor.
Biman had the interesting distinction of flying the half-hour Dhaka-Chittagong (DAC-CGP) leg (~250 miles) on DC-10's and Airbus A-310's - both large wide-body jets.
United Airways , Regent Airways and Royal Bengal Airlines  are three private operators offering excellent domestic and international flights. Regent is a new operator in 2010 and has new aircraft. Most of the private operators use the Bombardier DASH-8.
