Ruling out some aviation experts’ observation that having a mixed fleet would not be favorable for Biman Bangladesh airlines, Airbus has claimed that currently the Bangladesh flag carrier is not benefiting from fleet commonality.<\/p>\n
“Fleet commonality is an asset when there is commonality of system designs and technology, which is not the case with the existing Biman fleet,” President and Managing Director at Airbus India and South Asia Remi Maillard told BSS recently in an written interview.<\/p>\n
He said Biman does not enjoy any benefit of “cross-crew qualification” training for lack of a common cockpit design as its fleet consists with different version of six Boeing 777-300 ER, four Boeing 787-8, two Boeing 787-9, six Boeing 737 and five are Dash 8-400 aircraft.<\/p>\n
However, when Bangladesh government showed its intention to buy planes from the Airbus, some aviation experts observed that a complex fleet will add additional investment and maintenance cost to Boeing dominated fleet of Biman to manage spare parts and to train new set of pilots.\u09ac\u09bf\u09b8\u09cd\u09a4\u09be\u09b0\u09bf\u09a4<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ruling out some aviation experts’ observation that having a mixed fleet would not be favorable for Biman Bangladesh airlines, Airbus has claimed that currently the Bangladesh flag carrier is not benefiting from fleet commonality. “Fleet commonality is an asset when there is commonality of system designs and technology, which is not the case with the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-14"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=39951"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39953,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39951\/revisions\/39953"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/39952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=39951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=39951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deshnews24.info\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=39951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
