The airline is planning to acquire two turbo-troop aircraft on lease to serve these routes, Kevin Steele, Bimans MD said.
He told bdnews24.com, “We are looking to start domestic operations in November this year. We are also looking for 2 turboprop aircraft on lease.”
“These will be on 5 year dry lease. We expect them to join our fleet on or before November 1.”
These kinds of aircraft are commercially viable for low fuel consumption and maintenance cost. These are also suitable for short distance routes.

About Biman’s plan of resuming domestic destinations, it’s MD Kevin Said, “We will operate morning and evening flights to Sylhet and Chittagong, daily flights to Cox’s Bazaar, and several flights per week to Jessore, Saidpur, Rajshahi and Barisal.”
Biman’s domestic operation halted for years due to aircraft shortage. But it was operating to Sylhet and Chittagong by connecting several international flights.
Besides Biman, three private careers--- United Airways, Regent Airways and Novo Air-- are also operating flights to domestic destinations.
