We are uniquely supported by a deeply connected global diaspora of 15 million people. In this context, our planned fleet expansion represents a measured and reasonable ambition,” said Rumee A. Hossain, Chairman, Board of Directors, Biman Bangladesh Airlines. “This order marks a significant milestone in our partnership with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, as it embarks on this important phase of fleet modernization. Together, the A350 and A321neo form the perfect fleet strategy for Biman as it spreads its wings to new international destinations, catering to the growing demand across its network,” said Benoît de Saint-Exupéry, EVP Sales of the Airbus Commercial Aircraft business.

The OEM noted that Bangladesh is experiencing a significant demographic dividend that reinforces its medium-term economic trajectory. This economic momentum directly catalyzes demand across the aviation industry. Additionally, a vast overseas diaspora, particularly across the Middle East and Southeast Asia, continues to maintain high baseline demand for international routes, while growing foreign trade will drive commercial air cargo needs.

At the end of September 2026, Biman placed an order with Boeing for 11 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX airplanes. The purchase, which includes five 787-10 and six 737-8 jets, builds on the airline’s largest‑ever order for 14 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX airplanes earlier this year.
