Will Biman become profitable with the new airplanes?
No, not just like that! It takes a lot more than just flashy new planes for an airline to thrive in the ever-competitive global industry. But without efficient and dependable airplanes, an airline cannot even plan to operate with optimum capabilities. The airplanes will form the backbone of the airline, with everything else taking shape around it. Undoubtedly, Biman will have to work on its organisational and operational issues to make the most of these new airplanes to make money for the airline. What if the GoB does not support Biman to renew its fleet? If that comes to be the case, I would say the GoB should just stop hollering about all the good it intends to do for Biman and just wrap up the airline altogether. It has taken enough abuse through its 35 years of lifetime by means of corruption and the last thing it deserves is another abuse in the form of sheer irresponsibility and indecisiveness in part of the GoB. The airline that is our own is now standing between death and glory
