- Biman Bangladesh Airlines placed an order for 25 new Boeing aircraft this year while its current fleet totals 19 aircraft, including four 777-300ERs, four 787-8s and two 787-9s.
- The airline’s 787s experience brake system control unit breakdowns at a rate 14 times higher than the global fleet and spoiler failures about five times higher, while its 777s report cargo door malfunctions roughly 14 times the global average and temperature control system failures six to seven times more often; critical spares for the 787 and 777 are lacking at the Dhaka base and a high minimum equipment list count indicates many inoperative components awaiting maintenance.
