| Historical Background
Bengal Airlift Limited, the founding company of what many longtime insiders fondly term as the BAL Group, was established in 1982. Its existence today may as well be called a true success story in terms of reputation, goodwill, entrepreneurship and growth. The founders' Abdul Mannan, Rezaur Rahman and Late Rashid Ahmed, all veterans of the airline industry goal was to build the company into a one-stop travel, logistics and transportation center for the country's evolving tourism, trade and manufacturing industries. The company's core business as a travel agency soon created a niche market not only in its own travel business but carved a niche sector within the industry altogether. Country's Garments Manufacturing and Export industry was beginning to emerge and the company made its mark as a Freight Forwarder.
The impetus in exports and Founders' long time exposure at higher levels of management in the airline industry as well as other government and regulatory bodies enabled Bengal Airlift to differentiate itself as an Airlines management and Freight specialist company. In those days the Airline industry in private sector was typically all about moving passengers as in most countries in early stages of aviation industry. In Bangladesh, alike other Developing nations, the market was especially geared towards manpower movement or labor traffic; a fact that still holds true to a large extent in the Passenger sector today but the Freight sector has grown many folds with tremendous impact in whole spectrum of businesses.
