Air Sylhet plc was founded by British Bangladeshi businessmen from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh and headquartered in London. Air Sylhet AG was its wholly owned, short-lived Austrian airline subsidiary based at Vienna International Airport.[1]
History

Air Sylhet plc was established in 2007 and a registered UK public limited company which had received over £1m in investment, primarily from the UK Bangladeshi Sylheti community.
