Biman Bangladesh Airlines has ordered five Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners and six 737-8s as part of its fleet renewal and expansion plans. The 11-aircraft purchase follows an order for 14 Boeing jets earlier in 2026, bringing the carrier’s orders this year to 25 aircraft.
The 787-10s will add capacity alongside Biman’s existing 787-8 and 787-9 aircraft, while the 737-8s will support its shorter-haul network. The airline also operates Boeing 777s and earlier-generation 737s.
Biman chairman Rumee A. Hossain said the additional aircraft address specific requirements in the airline’s fleet plan. The carrier intends to develop connections serving travellers from Bangladesh, its expatriate communities, businesses and tourism.
Boeing and Biman announced the agreement in New York on 23 September, during the United Nations General Assembly. Neither company specified delivery dates or the value of the new order.
