Bangladesh CAA faces resistance over boneyard clean-up

Applications to resume flight operations by the owners or management teams of three defunct Bangladesh-based airlines are frustrating attempts by the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) to sell aircraft left parked at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

Bangladesh's Financial Express reports that the CAAB wants to sell 12 aircraft which have sat at the airport for between one and 12 years, with the owners/operators largely ignoring requests to pay the overdue and ever-escalating parking fees. The report flags eight aircraft belonging to United Airways, two belonging to Regent Airways, and one belonging to GMG Airlines. ch-aviation research has identified those company-owned aircraft as;

United Airways:

• two ATR72-200s registered as S2-AFE (msn 385) and S2-AFU (msn 402);
• one DHC-8-100 registered as S2-AES (msn 363); and
• five MD-83s registered as S2-AEU (msn 49790), S2-AEH (msn 49937), S2-AFV (msn 53377), S2-AEI (msn 53183); and S2-AEJ (msn 53189).
• a ninth United Airways aircraft parked at Dhaka, an A310-300 registered as S2-AFF (msn 672).
