United Airways (BD) Ltd. was a privately owned Bangladeshi airline that operated scheduled domestic and international passenger services. Founded in the mid-2000s, it grew to become one of the larger private carriers in Bangladesh, serving routes across South and Southeast Asia as well as the Middle East. The airline faced significant financial difficulties over the years, leading to suspension of operations. It struggled with debt, aging fleet issues, and a competitive aviation market, which ultimately contributed to its inability to sustain regular services. United Airways held IATA code 4H and ICAO code UBD, operating under the callsign UNITED BANGLADESH. At its peak, it served several international destinations from its base at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka.
