The movements towards the deregulation of the air transportation industries with the “1978 Deregulation Airline Act” have significantly altered the operating environment for the firms providing passenger and cargo transportation related services.
With the airline deregulation, airlines were permitted to choose the routes and fares. These changes have had profound effects on many aspects of airline operations, particularly fares, level of service and routing. Through prevarication of air transportation in Bangladesh the Government has opened up a new horizon. To achieve a competitive environment and maximize the benefit, private airlines can control their scale of operation, effectively pursue cost reduction measures, and generate additional demand through improved services and reasonable fares.

By providing improved level of service and lower fare the private airlines may create new demand which will result in unit cost reduction and allow further fare deductions and service improvement. This virtuous circle should continue to strengthen the position of the operators and increase consumers’ benefit. Moreover, recent trends in the development of regional and sub-regional co-operation together with foreign investments in remote areas will have a significant influence on air transportation system. These cooperative frameworks will demand dynamic changes both in routing and scheduling of air transportation.
Public airlines are incapable of dealing with these changes due to their bureaucratic structure and lack of motivation. To develop the policies for prevarication and regulation of air remonstration market it is necessary to analyze various aspects of the system. This paper focuses on the potentiality of the private air transport operators in Bangladesh. The paper has been prepared on the basis of Airline Industry Bangladesh By Unmeasured 1998).
