[9][10] In September 2014, the airline temporarily suspended its operations for three days following a conflict among its board of directors and a financial crisis.

It obtained the Air Transport Operating License (ATOL) from Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh on 28 June 2005.

[16] After few months, domestic flights to Cox's Bazar,[17] Jessore,[17] and Barisal[18] started, along with international service to Kolkata from Dhaka and Chittagong.

In 2009, the airline received a McDonnell Douglas MD-83 aircraft, and launched flights to London,[20] Dubai,[21] Kuala Lumpur[22] and Kathmandu.

[40] However, on 27 September, three days after the suspension, the carrier resumed operations with a domestic flight following a consensus among board members.

[8] Earlier in an investigation, the Dhaka Stock Exchange found anomalies in preparing financial statements by United Airways.

[8] It also detected a manipulative trading pattern by an individual investor to create artificial demand for the airline shares.

[47] In April 2014, CAAB threatened to suspend the carrier's operations due to outstanding aeronautical and non-aeronautical fees of around BDT 770 million.

[48][49] The regulator also imposed a ban on sale or purchase of aircraft by United Airways until it clears all current and outstanding charges in the next one year.
