History

Bismillah Airlines was launched in 1998. It is the property of the Mollah Group of Industries.[2] Bismillah Airlines is the first international cargo carrier in Bangladesh. In 1999, BML launched a commercial route between Bangkok and Dhaka with a Boeing 707.[3]

In 2009, the Mollah Group opened the Bismillah Flying School, the first private flying school in the country.[4] In 2010, Bismillah Airlines exported 120,000 tons worth of cargo goods, and imported 75,000 tons.[5]

As of September 2015, Bismillah Airlines did not seem to have any active aircraft, but two Antonov An-148s were planned.[6][7] In 2016, it expanded its cargo operations to the Hong Kong Airport.[2]
