Biman Bangladesh Airlines destinations

Biman Bangladesh Airlines was established in January 1972 as the Bangladeshi flag carrier. Operations started on 4 February 1972, initially on a domestic basis and using DC-3 equipment, with services radiating from Dhaka to Chittagong, Jessore and Sylhet. International operations started on 4 March the same year, covering the London–Dhaka route on a charter basis under a sub-contract agreement with British Caledonian. From 1 January 1973 the same route, serving Gatwick Airport, started being operated by Donaldson International Airways on Biman's behalf. With a stopover in Bahrain, services to London in Biman's own right started on 19 June 1973, initially with a leased Boeing 707. By March 1975 (1975-03), the domestic route network comprised Chittagong, Comilla, Cox's Bazar, Ishurdi, Jessore, Sylhet and Thakurgaon and international services to Bangkok, Calcutta, Dubai, Kathmandu, and London were also provided. Frankfurt was first served in 1986.

The carrier's international network comprised 26 destinations in March 2005 (2005-03), but in 2006 services to some of them were discontinued owing to financial problems, starting with New York City in August that year, followed by Brussels, Frankfurt, Mumbai, Paris, Tokyo and Yangon. Frankfurt was resumed in late March 2014 (2014-03); the service proved economically unviable and the destination was again removed from the route network in October the same year. Flights to Rome were suspended in April 2015 (2015-04).

As of March 2015, the airline served 21 cities in 15 countries, across Asia and Europe.
