Boeing to deliver 2nd aircraft Thursday
Dhaka, Nov 23 (UNB) - Boeing will deliver its second Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to Biman Bangladesh Airlines on Thursday following the delivery of the first one in October last.
“These two aircraft deliveries are a major milestone for Biman Bangladesh and Boeing, and a sign of the growing US-Bangladesh economic relationship,” said a US Embassy press release on Wednesday.
Under a $1.2 billion sales agreement signed in 2008, Boeing will supply 10 brand-new aircraft, including four Boeing 777-300ERs, four Boeing 787-8 and two Boeing 737-800 NG aircraft over 10 years.
This is part of a long-term fleet renewal programme that aims to modernise Bangladesh’s national carrier. The next two deliveries of two 777-300ERs are scheduled for 2013, the release added.
