Boeing interested in more engagements with Bangladesh
Aviation giant Boeing is looking to engage more with Bangladesh in the coming days, the company's commercial marketing managing director for Asia Pacific and India, Dave Schulte said today.
'We are in a continuous discussion and engagement with airline companies in Bangladesh, including Biman Bangladesh Airlines. We already have a strong presence here in the last 50 years,' he said in a press briefing at a Dhaka city hotel on Wednesday.
Air travel in Bangladesh is likely to double in the next decade - driven by the growing population, and expanding economy, the company said.
He mentioned that to meet demand in passenger travel and air cargo, Boeing anticipates South Asian air carriers will need more than 2300 new commercial aeroplanes over the next 20 years.
Boeing organised the event at a time when its client, national career Biman Bangladesh Airlines is going to include two cargo carriers from Airbus, a competitor of Boeing.
