Biman flying low


There was a news item in the papers regarding passengers of a New York bound Biman flight being stranded in Brussels. The interior of all planes of Biman gives a very gloomy and dirty look . The schedules are so poor that it amounts to oppression.

In order to save the passengers from unnecessary harassment and oppression the right thing to do would be to close Biman down.

The way the last Hajj flights were handled is a disgrace. The state minister for civil aviation acts more like MD of Biman than minister for civil aviation. Besides, there is high-level corruption in sale and purchase of aircrafts. Selling or privatisation of Biman will save the government from such corruption.

Biman is nation's disgrace on the air. Sooner it is closed down, the better it will be for our impoverished nation.

I would like the readers to give us one good reason why we should remain saddled with a white elephant called Biman.
