Biman Bangladesh Airlines – 12 Reasons to fly with Biman
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is the national and flagship airline of Bangladesh. It was established in 1972, just some months after the liberation war 1971. It went to operate within a couple of months of establishment. Since then it faced a lot of external and internal challenges. Gradually Biman Bangladesh expanded its fleet and the number of destinations. But the conditions were never out of the problem. Corruption & mismanagement was always affecting the quality of the service of Biman. Finally in 2007 Biman Bangladesh was transformed into a public limited company. Since then it started to take steps to overcome the problems and modernize its services. As a part of the plan, Biman Bangladesh reduced the number of staff & made many new contracts. One of the major contracts was with Boeing for 10 new aircraft with options for 10 more.
Currently, Biman Bangladesh is serving 23 destinations. Among them 15 are international. They are in agreement with 43 countries for transportation. European Aviation Safety Agency has certified Biman Bangladesh Airlines as safe to fly in Europe. Also, Biman Bangladesh has successfully passed the IATA Operational Safety Audit.

You can do this with Upgrade Travel Option (UTO). This option comes very helpful to the passengers who would like to travel in business class with marginal cost.
- As a part of improvement, Biman phased out the vintage F28 and DC10-30 aircraft from its fleet. Now the fleet of Biman Bangladesh includes modern aircraft like Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, Boeing 737-300s, Boeing 777-300ERs, Fokker F28-4000s, Airbus 310-300s, etc. Biman operates its own ancillary at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

- BFCC (Biman Flight Catering Center) is one of the popular and successful subsidiaries of Biman. It is responsible for the in-flight meal service of Biman. And the quality of the meal is really good. International airlines like Saudia, Etihad, Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways, Emirates, Dragon Air, China Southern Airlines, and Regent Airways are also happy to enjoy the supply.
We who travel frequently via air routes have many options available. Giant airline companies from different countries are operating in Bangladesh. But don't we need to think from the point of view of nationalism often? Therefore, I believe we should support Biman Bangladesh. Because it is our national airline. Like our nation, Biman has a long history of struggle. In many cases, corruption and mismanagement got the upper hand and as a result, Biman suffered a lot. But now it is a public limited company, and they are trying its best to improve its position. At least their recent steps are showing good signs. In conclusion, Biman Bangladesh Airlines really deserves our support.
