en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 30, 2026, Boeing and Biman Bangladesh Airlines announced that the national flag carrier has signed its largest order in history, ordering 14 787 Dreamliner and 737 MAX aircraft to expand and modernize its fleet.

The new order includes eight 787-10s (Biman's first order for the largest 787 variant), two 787-9s, and four 737-8s. The 787-10 will be deployed on high-demand Middle East routes, the 787-9 will serve long-haul routes to Europe and North America, and the 737-8 will connect Bangladesh with destinations in the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia. Biman currently operates 14 Boeing aircraft, including the 787, 777, and 737 families. The airline's Managing Director and CEO, Kaizer Sohel Ahmed, stated: "The new aircraft will drive fleet modernization, enhance operational efficiency, and expand the international network, strengthening Bangladesh's position in the global aviation market."

Boeing Vice President of Commercial Sales, Paul Righi, said: "This order supports Biman's fleet renewal and network expansion strategy. The 737-8 is an ideal transition aircraft due to its fuel savings and crew commonality." The 787 family offers a more comfortable cabin experience, and the 737 MAX and 787 reduce fuel consumption by 20% to 25% compared to the aircraft they replace. Biman currently flies from Dhaka to 22 international destinations, with its longest route being to Toronto via Istanbul.
