CAAB to confiscate, auction off 12 abandoned airplanes

DHAKA, 15 July 2021, (TON): The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) has decided to confiscate and auction off 12 airplanes parked at Dhaka airport.

These planes have been occupying a large part of the cargo village at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) for years, disrupting the loading and unloading operations of goods.

CAAB officials said “they will be sold over the failure of their owning companies to ensure proper registration and repayment of loans.

Of the aircraft to be sold, eight are owned by United Airways, two by Regent Airways and one each by GMG and Avina.

United, Regent, and GMG collectively owe some Tk1,000 crore to CAAB in different unpaid charges.

Of the total sum, United owes Tk311.17 crore, GMG Tk368.29 crore and Regent Tk283.38 crore.
