Bangladesh is on the move. E-commerce is growing, industries are scaling up, and customer expectations are rising faster than ever. But while demand accelerates, our logistics network still leans heavily on congested and risky highways. Deliveries take too long, perishables spoil, and urgent shipments get stuck on the road.
This is why Bangladesh urgently needs domestic air cargo airlines — and why Flyoxy Aviation is preparing to lead the way.
The Limitations of Road Transport
Every day, trucks and courier vans carry thousands of parcels between Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, and other key cities. But road transport has limits:
- Traffic congestion: A journey that should take 6–8 hours often turns into 12–14 hours.
- Safety risks: Road accidents are common, putting both people and cargo at risk.
- Spoilage: Perishable items, like fish or fresh produce, often lose value before reaching the market.
For sensitive cargo — like pharmaceuticals that require timely, safe delivery — delays and risks are simply unacceptable.
Air Cargo: A Safer, Faster Alternative
Air cargo solves these problems. Instead of battling traffic, goods can reach their destination in under an hour. For example:
- Dhaka–Chattogram: From 12 hours by road → to just 1 hour by air.
- Dhaka–Sylhet: Half a day by road → to 45 minutes in the air.
This speed is more than convenience — it’s reliability. For couriers, e-commerce companies, and pharma distributors, it means meeting delivery promises every single time.
Sylhet: The Next Cargo Hub
The government is preparing Sylhet airport as a dedicated cargo hub, and that opens up huge opportunities. Positioned near industrial and agricultural regions, Sylhet can serve as a gateway for pharmaceuticals, tea, and fresh produce.
Flyoxy is planning to launch flights on the Dhaka–Sylhet route, giving businesses a faster, safer alternative to road transport. This will especially benefit the pharma industry, where time-sensitive medicines and medical supplies must move quickly and securely.
The Right Aircraft for Bangladesh
Not all air cargo requires giant freighters. For domestic routes, small, efficient turboprop aircraft like the Cessna 208 Caravan are ideal:
- Payload capacity of around 1.3 tons.
- Cargo space of ~400 cubic feet.
- Ability to operate from shorter runways like Sylhet and regional airports.
- Proven global success in courier and feeder cargo operations.
With frequent flights, couriers can move smaller loads more often, keeping shelves stocked and customers satisfied.
Supporting Key Industries: E-Commerce and Pharma
Two sectors stand out as immediate beneficiaries of domestic air cargo:
- E-Commerce: Same-day or next-day delivery becomes realistic, building trust and loyalty with customers.
- Pharmaceuticals: Timely, safe delivery of medicines, vaccines, and healthcare products reduces risks and saves lives.
Both industries need logistics solutions that are fast, safe, and dependable — exactly what air cargo offers.
The Bigger Picture
A strong domestic air cargo network will:
- Boost exports by ensuring fresh produce and perishable goods arrive in top condition.
- Create jobs across aviation, logistics, and support sectors.
- Improve road safety by reducing heavy truck dependency for urgent deliveries.
- Strengthen national resilience, as air cargo can quickly respond to natural disasters and emergencies.
