In late May I wrote about how Biman Bangladesh will soon take delivery of their first Boeing 787. The airline has four Boeing 787-8s on order, which will complement their existing longhaul fleet, consisting of six Boeing 777s (two 777-200ERs and four 777-300ERs).

Thank you for the information. I would love to try their 787. It is indeed a capacity upgrade for SIN and KUL, but will this be profitable? There is already lots of competition with SQ, MH, Malindo, Air Asia, US-Bangla and Regent all having direct flights daily. I heard Biman is also trying to re-open their flight to JFK with the Dreamliner (like in the old days when Biman flew the DC10 via Brussels to New York). Do you think Biman will succeed?

As someone who has visited Kathmandu on four separate trips over a couple of decades, I tended to follow travel sites related to Nepal trekking. For getting to Nepal, Biman always had the cheapest flights along with the worst reviews and on time stats. I wonder if they are any better these days.

Not planning on flying them, but actually saw it at the Boeing Everett plant, parked outside, just two weeks ago!

With such tight schedules, I'm not sure they will actually, in reality, operate the 787 on those routes daily – my guess is KUL and SIN will see a lot of last minute equipment changes and/or delays.

@lucky Why did Biman use a picture of Riyadh to promote the 787?
