 Biman Bangladesh Airlines
: Biman Bangladesh Airlines (Bangla:বিমান বাংলাদেশ) is the national airline of Bangladesh, based at Zia International Airport in Dhaka. It provides domestic as well as international service to Asia and Europe, but derives most of its revenue from flights to Osmani International Airport,[2] Sylhet. It has Air Services Agreements with 42 countries, although it maintains flights to only 18. Until July 2007, it was wholly owned by the Government of Bangladesh; on 23 July 2007, it was transformed into Bangladesh's largest Public Limited Company by the then Caretaker government of Bangladesh.
Created in February 1972, Biman operated an internal monopoly in Bangladesh until 1996.[4] Dogged by corruption and accidents, the airline suffers from an ageing fleet, with some of its long-haul aircraft banned for safety reasons from the US and EU member states. Annual Hajj flights, labour migrants[5] as well as Biman's subsidiaries, form an important part of the ailing carrier's business. Biman has a 2 star ranking out of 5 by Skytrax,[6] a United Kingdom-based consultancy whose research is used by the UK government in formulating air transport policy.
