Biman Bangladesh Airlines Orders Three New
Bombardier Q400 Aircraft
|
Biman Bangladesh Airlines has signed a purchase agreement with the Canadian
Commercial Corporation (CCC) for three new Bombardier Q400
turboprops.
Based on the list price of the
Q400, the firm order is valued at approximately US$106
million.
“We are very excited about adding these Q400s
to our fleet. We currently operate two Q400s and without
hesitation, we can say that these aircraft are ideal for our
domestic and regional operations,” said Mr. A M Mosaddique Ahmed,
Managing Director and CEO, Biman Bangladesh Airlines. With its
outstanding economics, comfort and operational flexibility, the
Q400 will allow us to offer high frequency services within
Bangladesh and neighboring countries.”
François Cognard, Bombardier’s VP Sales - Asia
Pacific, said, “We are very pleased that Biman is expanding its
Q400 fleet with this order for three new aircraft. The Q400’s greater seating and
cargo capacity really set it apart from the competition.
Furthermore, the Q400’s mix of turboprop economics and jet like
performance were the best match for Biman’s mix of short and
long-range routes. Operators coming back for more Q400 aircraft
really validates the benefits of the aircraft’s unique
characteristics.”
