I do hope this worthwhile step was performed.

The US connection is tangential at best. The airline has no US routes, and although it is technically a US-Bangladesh joint venture, the US office is registered at 'Bangladesh Plaza, Jackson Heights, Queens'. Deduce from that what you will - what I deduce is that all the backers are Bangladeshi nationals - some of whom live in the US; and that the 'US' bit of 'US-Bangla' is to give the impression to gullible potential pax that the airline is a US entity.
In a bitter irony, the company's strap-line is 'Fly Fast, Fly Safe'....
