Biman to procure three aircraft from Canada

The national flag carrier, Biman Bangladesh Airlines, is going to procure three aircraft from Canada by June 2020.

Biman and the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), government of Canada, signed a government to government

agreement yesterday to buy three 74-seated new Bombardier Q400 turboprop aircrafts, according to a Canadian high commission press release.

The aircraft will be delivered in March, May and June 2020, it said.

“The contract demonstrates CCC’s support for Canada’s aerospace sector as part of its diversification initiative. Aerospace remains one of Canada’s most important manufacturing sectors, creating high-quality jobs, technologies and global trading relationships,” it added.

“This important transaction consolidates Canada’s position as a major aerospace sector partner of Bangladesh. It further expands the fleet of Canadian aircraft and helicopters being flown in Bangladesh skies by commercial airlines, private owners and government entities,” said the Canadian high commissioner in Dhaka, Benoit Préfontaine.
