History

Biman Bangladesh started operations in 1972, when a DC_3 that had seen action in World War II was given to the company as a present by the Bangladesh Air Force. Soon after, a Boeing 707 and Fokker F-27 planes joined the airline's fleet, allowing Biman to begin international flights.


In 1983 Biman acquired DC-10 aircraft, and subsequently other planes such as the Airbus A310, Fokker F-28 and British Aerospace ATP. On January 31, 2003, the airline received 2 Boeing 737s.
