The Government of Bangladesh has approved a plan to purchase 14 aircraft from U.S. manufacturer Boeing. The decision was endorsed in a Biman Bangladesh Airlines board meeting held on Tuesday, where members agreed in principle to proceed with formal negotiations on pricing and terms. Boeing’s proposal, submitted on November 24, 2025, and revised on December 20, 2025, includes two Boeing 787-9s, eight 787-10s, and four 737-8s. Biman’s managing director and CEO Md. Shafiqul Rahman confirmed in a letter to Boeing’s vice president that the approval marks only the start of formal discussions and does not yet create any financial or legal obligations. The move aligns with Bangladesh’s broader strategy to strengthen trade and economic ties with the United States. Officials view the purchase as a step toward reducing the bilateral trade deficit and improving understanding on export tariff issues. A committee will now be formed to negotiate pricing and related matters with Boeing. According to officials, if implemented, the fleet expansion could enhance Biman’s international competitiveness and bring positive changes to the country’s aviation sector.
