Biman Bangladesh retiring DC-10

Post by HV7572KC »

Biman Bangladesh Airlines has a new CEO since a few months. The new CEO decided the DC-10s will be retired around August this year.

Source: Biman Bangladesh Airlines on Facebook

Biman set to lease two Boeing 777-200ER aircraft which are expected to join the fleet by June 2013. In Sep/Nov Biman will be receive delivery 2 more brand new Boeing 777-300ER. And last but not least in December 2013 BG set to get further 2 Boeing 777-200ERs.

To sum up, by the end of 2013 BG fleet will have 4 B777-200ER, 4 777-300ER, in total 8 777s. All this means, it's time to wave bye to the legendary DC-10s soon. At present Biman still has 3 airworthy DC-10s; S2-ACO, -ACP, & -ACR.

I am really happy I had 7 takeoffs in the BG DC10 in 2012 and in 2013, including a cockpit takeoff and landing from CGP to AUH this year :-)

Kind regards,

Cornelis Boersma
