Bangladesh buying 14 Boeing aircraft, plans to lease more: Aviation minister

[Bengal71]

Whether arm twisted or not the backlog Boeing and Airbus have is so huge (6 to 12 years) Trump (and likely his successor) will be long out of office before this order hits the assembly line. So plenty of time to cancel.

Those two are just playing a dangerous game that is ripe for a company like COMAC to walk in and grab everything.

There is no need to cancel. It's a great deal. US is our major export destination, I see no problem in reciprocation, particularly that Boeing are great aircraft.

Garbage deal. Arm twisted by Trump. Although better than buying old non BVR F16s from them.

At least we can lease these out if we cannot put them to good use.

What do you guys think?

I support this deal. Biman is well versed with Boeing planes. And Biman will not be a large or profitable entity. So, Biman should stick with single sourced aircrafts for the sake of cost effective simplicity.

We must increase imports from out export destinations.
