Biman Bangladesh Airlines move to induct two 737-800 aircraft to its fleet is expected to see success soon as it has received a ‘good response’ in this regard and will sit for evaluating the response on Saturday next.
“The response is good, and we’ll sit on Saturday,” a member of the evaluation committee told The New Nation.
He, however, declined to disclose the number of the proposals and their origin.
The official said after evaluation the airliner will shortlist the proposals and invite them to start the negotiation. Then the committee will visit the aircraft and take the final decision.
Set to phase out two decade-old aircraft, Biman Bangladesh Airlines had decided to add to two more aircraft to its fleet for 60 months to tackle any immediate problem in its flight operation. July 25 was the last date of submitting proposals.
“We’ll take two 737-800 aircraft on dry lease as the airliner has decided to phase out its two airbus aircraft after September this year,” a senior official at Biman told The New Nation.
