Biman Bangladesh Airlines (BG, Dhaka) has outlined its provisional B787-8 deployment plans ahead of the delivery of its first of the type later next month.
Airline Route reports the Bangladeshi state-owned carrier will deploy msn 40126 into service on September 1 on daily services from Dhaka to each of Kuala Lumpur International and Singapore Changi, presumably as crew training flights.
Biman expects its remaining three B787-8s on order from Boeing (BOE, Washington National) to deliver in November this year, followed by October and November 2019.
“We are planning to fly to new destinations like Guangzhou, Colombo International and Malé and resume flights to Delhi International and Hong Kong International," Biman’s General Manager (Public Relations) Shakil Meraz told the Dhaka Tribune last week. "We also have plans for Manchester International, Rome Fiumicino, and Sydney Kingsford Smith which will be expedited once we get the new aircraft."
