Biman Bangladesh Airlines has confirmed an order for 14 Boeing aircraft, its largest purchase to date, including the carrier’s first eight 787-10 Dreamliners.
The deal, valued at approximately $3.7 billion at list prices, comprises eight 787-10s, two 787-9s and four 737-8s, according to Boeing and multiple reports. The airline’s board approved the purchase in early January 2026, with a formal signing ceremony held on April 30, 2026, in Dhaka.
The 787-10s, Boeing’s largest Dreamliner variant, will serve high-demand routes to the Middle East and accommodate 30 to 40 more passengers than Biman’s current 787-9s. The two additional 787-9s will support long-haul flights to Europe and North America. The four 737-8s mark Biman’s first 737 MAX order, aimed at regional connections to the Middle East, India and Southeast Asia, replacing older 737-800s.
Biman currently operates 14 Boeing aircraft, including 787-8s, 787-9s, 777s and Next-Generation 737s, alongside other types for a total fleet of 19 airplanes. The new jets are expected to improve fuel efficiency by 20 to 25 percent compared to the aircraft they replace. The first delivery is scheduled for October 2031.
