US-Bangla Airlines will add 21 Boeing aircraft to its fleet, a move that lifts its international expansion plan into a firmer delivery window through 2027. The deal covers 15 737-8s and six 737-800s, valued at about $1.5 billion, and was unveiled in Dhaka at the Beyond with Boeing event. The carrier is targeting broader capacity across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia and the Middle East, with the new narrowbodies set to support route growth and frequency increases as leases are finalised and deliveries progress.
