Bangladesh's national flag carrier connecting the world.

Founded
1972
Headquarters
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is the national flag carrier of Bangladesh, wholly owned by the Government of Bangladesh. Founded in 1972 shortly after the country's independence, it operates international and domestic routes connecting Dhaka to destinations across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. The airline is headquartered in Dhaka and operates primarily out of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Over the decades, Biman has undergone significant fleet modernization efforts, introducing Boeing 787 Dreamliners to replace aging aircraft and improve operational efficiency. Despite its strategic importance to Bangladesh's connectivity, Biman has historically faced challenges related to financial losses, operational inefficiencies, and competition from Gulf carriers. The airline continues to serve as a vital link for the Bangladeshi diaspora and migrant workers traveling to the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
