Biman tickets

Almost all flights of Biman operate with a few vacant seats. But by offering 90% rebated subject to load ( sub-load )passages to the retired employees and their immediate family members, the airline can easily earn substantial amounts of revenue on each flight from otherwise empty seats which remain unutilised all through. As regards the passage facilities, though it may sound unbelievable, all retired employees, other than the cockpit crew, are entitled to only a total of ten free tickets to be entitled on completion of each year unlike all other international airlines of the world. All retired cockpit crew and their family members during their lifetime as well as even after their death, are entitled to a large number of free and rebated passages vide admin order no 15 and 16 / 2001 dated 19th July 2001.
They, including their family members, are also entitled to an unlimited number of 90% rebated passages but on firm basis i.e. against revenue seats only.
I am confident that the retired employees and their family members will be happy and remain obliged to the management if 90 % rebated sub-load passage facilities are approved in their favour as per the same terms and conditions permissible to the cockpit crew.
