Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked officials of Biman Bangladesh Airlines to take good care of all the aircraft in its fleet and to improve passenger service, as per a report in The Daily Star.

She said, "Sixteen new aircraft have been procured with public money, and there are now 21 aircraft in Biman's fleet. These should be kept safe alongside providing better services to passengers. I'm asking you to give special attention to all this.”

While inaugurating the two new aircraft at the VVIP Terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, she said the country is aiming to increase flight frequencies and expand the services of the national flag carrier, particularly on domestic routes.

All those involved with Biman Bangladesh Airlines, which represents Bangladesh in the world, have to remember that the country was liberated with the blood of millions of martyrs, she said while addressing the ceremony virtually from her official residence.

Talking about the third terminal at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, she said the government was setting up this ultramodern terminal with a view to handling wide-bodied planes in the country and improve the services to passengers.
