Weren't there many airstrip? For example, I'm quite sure that there was one in Comilla.
During 1970s/80s, wasn't there a helicopter service from Southern districts, that got canceled due to some helicopter-hit-by-bird incidents? -- Ragib 18:53, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
This Section doesnt mention an oft-forgotten fact about Air Operations from present day Bangladesh. Shamshernagar and Kurmitola (current Zia Airport) were used by the US Army Air Corps for "Flying the Hump"... ie transporting supplies over the hills onto Kunming, China. I was browsing around a month or so back about this, and will contribute to this soon.

I think the contents of the current Modern aviation section should be merged into WWII or Liberation war sections.
A Modern aviation section should be added after the liberation war section and detail the birth of "Bangladeshi" aviation (i.e. post liberation) as opposed to Indian or Pakistani aviation (pre-independence). It may even just be a section heading with the later sections moved to a level 3 heading.

The recent addition of Air Sylhet to the list got me thinking. Is there anything historic we can include about foreign airlines?

In 1972, Soviet Union gave Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahaman an aircraft as gift for personal use. The name of the aircraft is ‘Balaka Biman’. In 1991, the engine of the aircraft was given by Air Force towards science museum. [1]
