Hybari Group's interest in investing in Biman's aircraft leasing and freighter conversion
International aviation company Hybari Group has expressed interest in investing in leasing aircraft for Biman Bangladesh Airlines and converting aircraft in its current fleet into cargo-capable or dedicated freighters. The company's Managing Director William Prothero expressed this interest during a courtesy meeting with Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister M. Rashiduzzaman Millat at the Secretariat at noon on Tuesday (November 10).

During the meeting, the tourism minister said that the government has taken initiatives to expand the fleet to bring Biman to a respectable position in the international arena and turn it into a profitable organisation. Until new aircraft arrive, leasing aircraft is also being considered to meet interim demand. In this regard, technical aspects, including the aircraft's flying hours and maintenance history, will be properly evaluated.

Mentioning the growing cargo demand, the minister further said that the government plans to make two aircraft in Biman's current fleet fully suitable for cargo transport. If implemented, it will increase cargo transport capacity in the international market as well as Biman's revenue. He assured that if Hybari Group provides a specific and realistic investment proposal in this regard, the government will consider it with importance.
