Biman Bangladesh Airlines’ brand new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner named ‘Achin Pakhi’ will arrive in Dhaka this afternoon.

The aircraft will land at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) at 4:00 pm on Tuesday.

With this aircraft, the national flag carrier’s fleet number will raise to 18.

Earlier on Saturday, Biman’s 5th Dreamliner Boeing 787-9 named as “Sonar Tori” landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA).

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who named these Dreamliners as “Sonar Tori” and “Achin Pakhi”, is expected to inaugurate the new aircraft along with Biman’s mobile Apps on December 28.

On November 17, Biman and the US aircraft manufacturer announced at the Dubai Airshow that Biman purchased two 787-9 Dreamliners.

Biman’s first and second Dreamliners – ‘Akash Beena’ and ‘Hangsabalaka’ – arrived in Dhaka in August and December last year. The third one – ‘Gaangchil’ – arrived in July and the fourth one, ‘Rajhanso’, in September this year.
