Chinese-language service provider: Goodhope Logistics (China) Limited, handling booking, customs declaration and end-to-end logistics for international air freight, on routes from China to the United States and all major continents.
Hello Airlines (IATA code H3) was registered in 2012 and began operations in 2017. It is a Bangladeshi carrier whose only business is air cargo, with no scheduled passenger flights. The company belongs to the Bangladeshi IPSSL group, which is built on logistics and freight forwarding, and its chairman is M. Haider Uzzaman. It is headquartered at Road 12, Baridhara, Dhaka, and works mainly from Dhaka Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. The published contact email is shared with the group, and enquiries go through the group head office.
Capacity is small. Third-party public databases list one ATR 42-300QC in service. The type is a quick-change aircraft whose cabin can switch between passenger and cargo layouts; in cargo configuration the hold suits moderate volumes of pieces of modest weight on short feeder and regional sectors. The company has also published plans to add ATR 72 aircraft to raise turboprop payload.
The group cargo interests also include the NXT Air Cargo brand, which recently obtained an air operator certificate from the Bangladeshi civil aviation authority. It starts with an ATR 72-200F and plans four domestic destinations, with Boeing 737-800 freighters to follow. These plans show the group extending from single-aircraft operation to several types and points. For the Chinese market, the airline has no scheduled mainland routes or direct office and publishes no booking channel for China; shippers with charter or domestic distribution needs should work through a local agent or with our help to verify.

The information above is compiled from public sources. The active fleet and route structure may change to meet operational needs; the carrier's latest published data takes precedence.
ATR 42-300QC freighters fly domestic cargo services suited to short sectors and moderate volumes of consolidated cargo. Destinations follow the carrier published list.
Published information shows the company operates international cargo flights, but no routes, schedules or destinations are published; they must be confirmed by the carrier for each shipment.
The main type is a quick-change freighter whose cargo hold suits moderate volumes and light pieces, with flexible build-up options.
Part of the IPSSL group, whose base is logistics and freight forwarding, which gives it in-house control of collection, customs and delivery in Bangladesh.
Capacity is small: one turboprop freighter is listed in service, so the load per flight is limited. That makes the airline suitable for consolidated shipments with relaxed deadlines and for batches distributed inside Bangladesh; cargo needing high frequency or large payloads should be assessed against other carriers in the same plan. For a full charter out of China, we compare options from several carriers with aircraft in service.
The fleet is made up of turboprop freighters, a type choice that matches short Bangladeshi sectors and airports with modest runway conditions. Third-party databases list the ATR 42-300QC in service; QC means quick change, so the aircraft can switch between passenger and cargo layouts as tasks require. In cargo configuration the published reference payload is about 5.5 t with a range of about 1,500 km, which covers domestic routes and short international sectors to neighbouring countries. The company has published plans to add the ATR 72, a stretched version of the ATR 42 with a published reference payload of about 7.5 t, mainly to raise payload per flight. The group NXT Air Cargo brand already operates one ATR 72-200F and has published plans for Boeing 737-800 freighters.
| Aircraft type | Status | Payload (published reference) | Applicable sectors |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATR 42-300QC | 1 aircraft listed in public sources | about 5.5 t | Domestic Bangladesh and short international sectors |
| ATR 72 | Addition published as a plan | About 7.5 tonnes class | Planned type to raise payload per flight |
| ATR 72-200F | Operated by the group brand | About 7.5 tonnes class | Group cargo brand plan for domestic destinations |
| Boeing 737-800 freighter | Later group plan, published | No published figures | Date not announced |
The table follows third-party public databases and group announcements, and payload figures are reference values. Actual payload depends on sector length, temperature, runway conditions and take-off weight limits, and is calculated by the carrier for each shipment.
| Aircraft category | Twin-turboprop freighter |
| Loading method | Mainly loose cargo and small ULDs |
| Runway suitability | Suited to smaller domestic airports with modest runways |
| Volume fit | Consolidated batches with light pieces |
| Expansion | ATR 72 aircraft published as planned |
| Specifications | Subject to the operating specifications published by the carrier |
The chart gives published reference values to compare the payload scale of the two turboprop types. Figures for the later types in the group plan have not been published.

Hello Airlines has no scheduled cargo service from mainland China, so there is no fixed reachable range from China. Chinese cargo can use it in two ways. One is to use its domestic Bangladeshi flights and ground resources, in which case the cargo must first reach Dhaka on another carrier. The other is to organize a charter into Bangladesh, where the charterer and we agree the routing and the airline provides available capacity and ground support for that shipment.
Operational note:For mainline cargo from China to Bangladesh and to other countries we can book regular space and quote as one. Where a shipper wants distribution through Dhaka or a charter, we can connect to the local operation and cost the whole plan.

Hello Airlines has no office in China and publishes limited destination and schedule information, so booking requires more verification than with most carriers. Coordinating through a forwarder who knows the Bangladesh market cuts back-and-forth and reduces the risk of re-routing.
Part of the IPSSL group, whose base is logistics and freight forwarding, which gives in-house control of collection, customs and delivery in Bangladesh and less outsourcing.
The main type is a quick-change aircraft that switches between passenger and cargo layouts, which gives flexibility in build-up and capacity planning.
Turboprop freighters suit smaller domestic airports with modest runways and work well for short sectors and moderate volumes within Bangladesh.
The airline and the group brand have published plans for ATR 72 and Boeing 737-800 freighters, and the group cargo brand already holds an operating certificate and has its first ATR 72-200F.
no ICAO code, call sign, air waybill prefix or specific destination is publishedNot disclosed, so verification before booking is heavy work best handled by a forwarder.
One turboprop freighter is listed in service with limited payload per flight; the mainline from mainland China to Bangladesh must be flown by another carrier, and capacity to Europe and North America must be sourced separately.
The useful value of Hello Airlines at present is at the destination end, not the origin end. Shippers whose destination is Dhaka and who need onward distribution in Bangladesh can use it for the leg beyond Dhaka; for a full charter out of China or for high-frequency shipping, we assess other carriers with aircraft in service at the same time.
Little is published about the company, so points, schedules, payload per flight and the air waybill prefix must all be checked with the carrier before booking. In practice we confirm these items at the same point as the booking request and record the answers in the quotation and confirmation, which avoids changes later caused by incomplete data. For tight-deadline shipments, an alternative carrier should be included in the plan.
Turboprop freighters carry less per flight and have smaller doors than widebody freighters, so long, heavy or out-of-gauge pieces are accepted only within narrow limits. Give accurate piece weight, dimensions and packing at booking so the carrier can check door clearance and floor loading. Where a piece will not fit a turboprop, we switch the plan to a narrowbody or widebody operator.
The group cargo interests cover Hello Airlines and NXT Air Cargo. The latter holds an operating certificate, starts with an ATR 72-200F, plans four domestic destinations and has published plans for Boeing 737-800 freighters. The two brands may complement each other on domestic sectors, but whether they can be combined is confirmed by the carrier for each shipment.
For general cargo from China to Dhaka we recommend scheduled belly space or a widebody freighter with a stable schedule; for cargo to be distributed inside Bangladesh the domestic sector is matched to the destination; for cargo bound for Europe or North America a carrier is matched by direction. All of these can be arranged through one point of contact with comparative quotations.
Hello Airlines is a Bangladeshi all-cargo carrier registered in 2012 and operating since 2017, part of the IPSSL group and with no scheduled passenger flights. Its IATA code is H3; no ICAO code, radio call sign or air waybill prefix is published.
No published information shows the company serving an airport in mainland China, operating scheduled flights there or holding a direct office. Chinese cargo must first reach Dhaka on another carrier and then connect to its domestic Bangladeshi flights.
Third-party public databases list one ATR 42-300QC quick-change freighter in service with a published reference payload of about 5.5 t. The company has published plans to add ATR 72 aircraft, with no date announced.
The main base is Dhaka Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport; specific domestic destinations are not published. The group NXT Air Cargo brand has published plans for four domestic destinations, and the actual points follow the carrier announcements.
Published information shows the company operates international cargo flights, but routes, destinations and schedules are not published. The group has published plans for Boeing 737-800 freighters later, which is longer-term capacity with no date announced.
The company has no widebody freighters in service and no fixed routes to Europe or North America, so its own capacity cannot serve those directions. For cargo from China to the United States and Europe we book space with mainline carriers on those routes; where a full charter is required we compare several operators with aircraft in service and provide the comparison.
