US-Bangla's "Partner Retreat Maldives-2025" held with 300 agents
US-Bangla Airlines has been a part of a unique record from September 19 to 21, 2025. Thousands of airlines around the world are supported by hundreds of thousands of travel agents. Airlines hold various summits with travel agents at various times. But there is no precedent in the world for a specific airline to hold a conference or summit with more than 300 travel agents from one country to another. US-Bangla Airlines has set that precedent. More than 300 travel agents from Bangladesh organized a three-day 'Partner Retreat Maldives-2025' at Sai Lagoon and Hard Rock on Crossroads Island in the Maldives, setting a world record.
US-Bangla Airlines has organized a historic gathering of travel agents from all over the country, including the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, the port city of Chittagong, the famous tea country of Sylhet, and the tourist city of Cox's Bazar. On September 19, two Boeing 737-800 aircraft carrying guests landed from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka to Velena International Airport in Male, the capital of the Maldives.
On the second day of the three-day 'Partner Retreat Maldives 2025', a modest event was organized at the Saii Lagoon Convention Hall. At the event, 40 travel agents were awarded based on their performance and US-Bangla Airlines presented certificates in recognition of their work. The event was attended by US-Bangla Airlines Managing Director Mr. Mohammed Abdullah Al Mamun, Editor of The Bangladesh Monitor, a travel magazine, Mr. Kazi Wahidul Alam, and US-Bangla's Head of Sales and Marketing Mr. Shafiqul Islam. The event was hosted by US-Bangla Airlines General Manager - Public Relations Md. Kamrul Islam.
Mr. Mohammed Abdullah Al Mamun expressed his gratitude to the guests at the event.
He said, "I am hopeful that the travel partners of Bangladesh will continue to support US-Bangla Airlines in its leadership in global aviation in the future, just as they have stood by US-Bangla Airlines for the past 11 years since the airline began operations on July 17, 2014."
He further said, "Today, US-Bangla operates flights on all domestic routes in the country and 14 international routes in 10 Asian countries. In addition, the airline's fleet consists of a total of 24 aircraft, including two 436-seat Airbus 330-300s. Another Airbus 330-300 aircraft is going to be added to the fleet very soon. And according to the demand of passengers, US-Bangla Airlines is planning to operate flights on the routes of Medina and Dammam after Jeddah and Riyadh in Saudi Arabia."
He also said, "US-Bangla Airlines has almost finalized plans to add 20 new aircraft to its fleet to further secure international routes very soon. To increase its capabilities, US-Bangla Airlines is continuing the process of training 30 pilots and 30 engineers every year from among the country's talented people, with its own funding, before increasing its aircraft."
