Biman Bangladesh Airlines partly transcribed from English into Bengali and the other way around; commonly referred to as simply Biman is the national flag carrier of Bangladesh. Its main hub is at Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka and it also operates flights from its secondary hubs at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong and Osmani International Airport in Sylhet. The airline provides international passenger and cargo services to its destinations. It has air service agreements with 42 países. The airline’s headquarters, Balaka Bhaban, is located in Kurmitola, Dhaka. Annual Hajj flights; transporting tourists and non-resident Bangladeshi workers and migrants; and the activities of its subsidiaries form an integral part of the airline’s business.
The carrier is currently facing stiff competition from a number of domestic Bangladeshi private airlines as well as some international carriers, which offer greater flexibility targeting Bangladesh’s air transport sector which is experiencing an 8% annual growth rate, thanks to a large number of tourists and non-resident Bangladeshi travellers. Biman Bangladesh Airlines was established on 4 Janeiro de 1972 as Bangladesh’s national airline under the Bangladesh Biman Ordinance (Presidential Order No. 126). The initiative to launch the flag carrier was taken by 2,500 former employees, including ten Boeing 707 commanders and seven other pilots of Pakistan International Airlines, who submitted a proposal to the government on 31 Dezembro de 1971 following the independence of Bangladesh. The airline was initially called Air Bangladesh International but was soon changed to its current name. The airline was wholly owned by the Bangladeshi government through the Bangladesh Biman Corporation since its inception.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines will conduct a special commercial Dhaka-Birmingham flight, after which the DC-10 will go to a museum in the United States.
