PM inaugurates Biman’s “dreamliner”

DHAKA, Sept 5, 2018 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today
commissioned Bangladesh Biman’s first ever “Dreamliner”, a state-of-the art
aircraft of US-based multinational Boeing company, asking the operators of
the national flag carrier to enhance their reputation offering better
services.

“I want you to work with utmost sincerity so that the organisation (Biman)
doesn’t earn any bad name and Bangladesh’s reputation remains upheld,” the
premier told the commissioning ceremony of the craft, which she herself named
“Akashbeena”.

Sheikh Hasina asked the Biman staff to particularly give proper attention
so the foreign, local passengers and expatriates Bangladeshis could quickly
complete their immigration formalities and get luggage.

“The process will have to be expedited by using modern technology so the
passengers could quickly leave the airport,” she said and simultaneously
asked all concerned to give more importance to aviation and airport security
issues.

The prime minister herself chose the name for the 271-seat Boeing 787-8, a
long-haul, mid-size wide-body, twin-engine jet airline.

The Boeing company described the aircraft to have “unparalleled fuel
efficiency and range flexibility” offering its passengers “an experience like
none other in the air, with more comfort and less fatigue”.

Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister AKM Shahjahan Kamal was present at the
function as the special guest held at the VVIP Terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal
International Airport here.

Chairman of Biman’s Board of Director Air Marshal (retd) Muhammad Enamul
Bari and Civil Aviation and Tourism Secretary Md Mohibul Haque also spoke at
the function, while Biman Managing Director and CEO AM Mosaddique Ahmed
delivered the welcome address.

Ministers, PM’s advisers, parliament members, the chiefs of three services,
foreign diplomats and high civil and military officials were present on the
occasion.
