Biman Bangladesh Airlines Managing Director and CEO AM Mosaddique Ahmed has been fired a month before his extended contract was to end.
Biman Director (Flight Operations) Captain Farhat Hasan Jamil will stand in for Mosaddique until a new MD and CEO is appointed, according to Mohibul.
The board took the decision after getting proofs of irregularities in the appointment of pilots along with a barrage of allegations of lack of transparency, one of the directors told bdnews24.com on condition that he cannot be named.
Mosaddique’s contract was to end on May 30 after a three-year stint.
Joining the flag carrier as an assistant manager in 1983, he retired as a director in 2015.
Biman appointed him MD and CEO on contract for a year on June 1, 2016 and later extended it.
