Hey everyone, just saw the news that Biman Bangladesh is adding five more B787-10s and six B737-8s to their fleet. This comes after they already ordered a bunch earlier this year. They're really doubling down on the Dreamliner, which is pretty cool. Seems like they want to ramp up their Middle East routes and maybe even push into long-haul to North America and Europe.
I think it's interesting they're going for more 787-10s when they already ordered the -9s too. I guess it's all about capacity and range. Plus, the B737-8s should help with regional flights. I wonder how this will affect their current fleet and if they'll retire any older planes.
What do you guys think about Biman's strategy here? Are they preparing for a big expansion or just modernizing their fleet? Anyone have thoughts on how this might shake up the competition in those regions? Would love to hear your take!
