Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is set to inaugurate “Rajhangsha”, the 4th Dreamliner of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, today.

“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will formally commission the newly-procured state-of-the-art aircraft of the national flag carrier ‘Rajhangsha’ at the VVIP Tarmac of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) here at 4 pm tomorrow,” a source at the Prime Minister’s Office told BSS.

The fourth Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, the 16th aircraft of the national flag carrier, was added to the Biman’s fleet on September 14. It landed at HSIA directly from the USA’s Seattle’s Boeing Factory in the afternoon on the day.

Biman’s acting Managing Director and CEO Captain Farhat Hasan Jamil along with other high officials received the Dreamliner at the airport after welcoming it by a water cannon salute.

Earlier, the first and second Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, named as Akash Beena and Hangsabalaka respectively, arrived here in August and December last year, while the third one known as Gaangchil landed in July last.
