Biman’s latest scandal a reminder of systemic corruption and mismanagement
The captain of a Biman flight was napping in the crew rest area, leaving the cockpit of a Boeing 777-300ER technically unmanned, when a passenger had a heart attack
In February last year, Biman recruited a batch of contractual pilots to fly its Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, claiming that it needed pilots immediately due to a shortage.
With such poor conditions of pilots and staff, Biman will not be able to compete with other airlines and will continue to endanger its passengers and the prestige of the country.

After the maiden flight on August 18, tickets for the second Biman flight on Dhaka-Guangzhou-Dhaka route have been opened for sale at 4:00pm today (August 22) on Biman’s host system.
