Private airliner United Airways has saved its licence by paying just fraction of its dues with the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB).
The airline paid Tk 10 million against its dues of Tk 770 million.
CAAB has long been reminding United of the dues and finally threatened to void its licence unless the dues were not cleared.
CAAB Director (Flight Safety and Regulations) SM Nazmul Anam said United also pledged at a meeting with them at its Kurmitola headquarters to pay another Tk 40 million within June this year.
He said: “We’ve told them (United) that all the dues have to be cleared in one year. Otherwise, their operation would be stopped.”
United’s Marketing and Public Relations Assistant General Manager Kamrul Islam said poor business last year left ‘some dues’.
