History

Easy Fly Express was founded on 18 April 2007, and received its first aircraft HS 748 (Reg: S2-AAX) on 7 May 2008. The aircraft was registered on 24 June 2008 and the airline commenced operations on 1 July 2008. In February 2014, Karnaphuli Group purchased 100% of the shares of the airlines. The airline operates domestic and international cargo flights.[2]

The airline has been challenged by Monaco and London-based easyGroup, licensor of the easyJet brand, over its orange "easyFly" branding which is strikingly similar to that used by easyJet. An April 2019 "Brand Thief" statement by easyGroup indicated the Airbus A300 in question was no longer operated by Easy Fly Express and had been stripped of the contentious logo.[7]
