Bangladesh Carrier Weighs Fleet Mix And Pricing Terms
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is yet to finalize its proposed purchase of 10 Airbus aircraft, with negotiations continuing over the fleet mix, pricing, and other commercial terms. The state-owned carrier has been negotiating with Airbus since July, but the uncertainty comes despite the government’s plan to sign the agreement by August 31. The airline recently signed a $3.7 billion agreement with Boeing to purchase 14 aircraft, and is undertaking the aircraft acquisition programme as part of its roadmap to expand its fleet. This development was reported by an unknown source.
