State-run BSS news agency reported that Biman Bangladesh Airlines took the decision at its annual general meeting as part of its fleet expansion and modernisation plan. Confirming the development, Boshra Islam, general manager (public relations) of Biman, told The Daily Star today that the decision was taken at the airline’s annual general meeting held on Tuesday. Biman will buy eight Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners, two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and four Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft. After further evaluation and scrutiny, Biman finalised the decision on the 14 aircraft. Airbus, meanwhile, had long been urging Biman to buy its aircraft, arguing that adding Airbus models alongside the existing fleet would make the national carrier more flexible, resilient and competitive.
