Boeing and Biman Bangladesh Airlines announced on April 30, 2026, that the Bangladeshi flag carrier placed its largest-ever order for 14 aircraft, consisting of eight 787-10 Dreamliners, two 787-9 Dreamliners, and four 737-8 MAX jets.
This marks Biman’s first acquisition of the 787-10, the largest variant in the Dreamliner family, which will serve high-demand routes to the Middle East. The two 787-9s will support long-haul flights to Europe and North America. The four 737-8s represent the airline’s initial order for the 737 MAX family and will connect Bangladesh with destinations in the Middle East, India, and Southeast Asia.
Biman currently operates 14 Boeing aircraft, including 787-8s, 787-9s, 777s, and Next-Generation 737s, across its international network from Dhaka to 22 destinations. The new jets offer 20-25% better fuel efficiency than the models they replace, aiding fleet modernization and regional demand growth.
