Biman Bangladesh board backs Boeing for fleet renewal — 10 787s and 4 737 MAX

Biman Bangladesh’s board has approved entering formal negotiations with Boeing to acquire 14 jets — ten 787 Dreamliners and four 737 MAX narrowbodies — ending a prolonged Airbus–Boeing competition. No contract is signed yet; pricing, financing and delivery schedules will be negotiated following the December board decision.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The deal-sized specifics — 14 aircraft (10 widebodies, 4 narrowbodies) — change Biman’s fleet plan and represent a material commercial win for Boeing in the region; earlier this year Biman signalled a shift when it outlined a plan to buy two Airbus A350s.
  • Board approval authorises formal negotiations but creates no binding commitment until contracts are signed; the move should be viewed alongside Bangladesh’s broader Boeing commitments, including a reported order for 25 Boeing widebodies tied to a US trade deal, which affects delivery timing and financing options.
