Trump acted like a ‘salesman’ over Boeing deal: Bangladesh aviation expert
Bangladesh Biman Airlines has signed an agreement with Boeing to buy 14 aircraft. Boeing will supply these aircraft to Biman in stages between 2031-2035.
Bangladeshi aviation expert Kazi Wahid ul Alam described US President Donald Trump's approach to the Boeing aircraft sale as salesmanship. Every nation or leader is a salesman, Alam explained, citing the common practice of representatives trying to sell their country's goods when engaging with foreign counterparts. The Bangladesh government sees an opportunity in the growing aviation market, which is why they are promoting Boeing aircraft sales, Alam added.
However, Alam cautioned against overestimating the benefits of upgrading Cox's Bazar Airport to an international hub. While the decision may serve some purpose, the current underutilization of other Bangladeshi airports raises questions about the need for this specific upgrade, he said.
