Bangladesh Lawyer Seeks Clarity on $3.7 Billion Boeing Aircraft Purchase Approval
A Bangladesh Supreme Court lawyer, Barrister MMG Sarwar, has issued a legal notice to senior government officials and Biman Bangladesh Airlines' leadership seeking details on the approval process for the country's $3.7 billion purchase of 14 Boeing aircraft. The notice questions whether proper legal, procedural, and procurement steps were followed, including feasibility assessments and competitive bidding. This follows conflicting statements from government ministers about alleged US pressure in the deal, and calls for transparency on whether Airbus was fairly considered.
