Two Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 Aircraft will be Adding in Biman Fleet

The fourth Dreamliner 787-8 ‘Rajhansa’ has been added and inaugurated on 17 Sept 2019 on the Biman Bangladesh Airlines fleet. Since the inauguration of the 'Rajhansa', the government has planned to add two more Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 to the Bangladesh Airlines - Biman.

The Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina herself expressed interest in buying these new two Boeing. Later the Biman has decided to buy two new Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 which is larger in size and capacity than 787-8 model. Biman was negotiated with the Boeing Company for over a month after that. Biman may be getting a chance to buy every 787-9 Dreamliners at half the current market price which could be around US$ 150 million. These new two 787-9 Dreamliner may be added in Biman fleet in December this year.

There are currently 16 aircraft in the Biman fleet. Of these, the number own aircraft on Biman is 10, the rest of the aircrafts are of leases. All of the own aircrafts were purchased from Boeing Company. Of these, four are Dreamliners 787-8, four are 777-300 ER and rest two are 737-800. If two new 787-9 aircraft are purchased, then the total number of own aircraft in Biman will be 12. In addition next year three new Dash-8 aircrafts from Canada will be adding.

According to various websites on the internet, the current market price of a Boeing Dreamliner 787-9 aircraft is US$ 292.5 million (around 2,480 Crore BD Taka). Two 787-9 aircraft will cost US$ 585 million (around 4,960 Crore BD Taka).

Recently the Chinese ‘Hainan Airlines’ which is one of top China's civilian airlines, canceled their deal with Boeing. In that context, Boeing offered to sell two Dreamliners at low prices. The Prime Minister expressed interest in buying these two Dreamliners and the Biman began negotiating with Boeing to buy these two brand new 787-9 Dreamliner.

A Dreamliner 787-9 model aircraft cost around US $ 300 million. Boeing began discussing prices and accessories in the first week of October with Biman. The Boeing Company proposed US$ 155 million for each aircraft. The Biman offered their price at $ 135 million. Then Boeing reduced the price by $ 150 million for each Dreamliner. Despite this the bargaining between the two sides continued. The recent decision to buy Dreamliner for less than US $ 150 million has been finalized.

The Boeing Company will provide an additional engine. As per the information, at a meeting of the board of directors of Biman on 23-10-2019, it was unanimously decided to buy two 787-9 Dreamliners. Very soon a state-owned bank will finance for the purchase of these aircrafts. And the Biman will start paying the Boeing Company this month.

However, two planes will arrive within this year. As part of the purchase of Dreamliner 787-9, a team from Biman will soon head to Boeing's office in Seattle, United States. The Boeing provided an additional engine with the previous four 787-8 Dreamliners. Boeing is giving an additional engine with the two new 787-9 Dreamliner. The engines are made by General Aviation, with the previous four Dreamliners 787-8.

The Boeing only manufactures the body itself. Accessories including engines are purchased from other companies. For example, Boeing adds the General Motors / Aviation or Rolls-Royce engines to their aircraft. General Motors has better engine quality than Rolls-Royce. In addition, seat covers or other machinery will be purchased from different companies, the color value, the interior decoration will be made on a design basis. The price of these airplanes is less. Boeing has a separate catalog for everything.
