Airbus says Biman Bangladesh confirms order for 10 jets

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has placed an order for 10 Airbus jets, according to the European aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The order, which had been anticipated following Biman's recent acquisition of 11 Boeing aircraft, comprises four long-haul A350-900 and six medium-haul A320neo jets. Earlier this month, Biman had placed an order for 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX aircraft.

The airline, whose current fleet of 19 aircraft primarily consists of Boeing jets and Dash-8 turboprops, serves over 20 percent of Bangladesh's air passenger traffic, as stated by Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister M. Rashiduzzaman Millat last month.
