Bangladesh's National Carrier Appoints Humaira Sultana Amid Leadership Crisis

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has appointed Humaira Sultana as its new head following the arrest and dismissal of former CEO Shafiqur Rahman. The appointment comes amid a leadership crisis for the national carrier, which has struggled with profitability pressures and competition from regional and Middle Eastern carriers. According to AeroTime, Sultana’s elevation places her at the center of efforts to stabilize operations and restore confidence in the airline’s leadership. The arrest of a sitting airline chief executive is a rare and serious development in commercial aviation, adding to the challenges facing Biman as it seeks to improve performance and reputation.
