Airbus said Biman Bangladesh Airlines confirmed an order for 10 aircraft: four long-haul A350-900s and six medium-haul A321neos. The airline had also recently ordered 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 737 MAX aircraft.
Biman's current fleet of 19 aircraft consists mainly of Boeing jets and Dash 8 turboprops. Bangladesh's civil aviation minister said the flag carrier serves slightly more than 20% of the country's air passengers, making the new orders both a capacity expansion and a move toward a more diversified fleet.
