    If that is the case, that would be very cool. Biman 777!

    Interesting announcement, because it seems they have massive problems, i.e. possibly not having any planes to operate this service with. I know they're a very poor country, but sheesh. I did a little research and wrote a post about it...

    Note 1: All five of their long-haulers broke down this past Sunday, stranding thousands.
    Note 2: The board has rejected yet another plan to lease 777s in the short term until their order of new ones is delivered, forcing the pilots to go as far as asking the Prime Minister to intervene.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    i remember their DC-10s circa '03
    The beehive hummm of the JT9D and GE CF680C2,the thunder of the JT8D-17,the rumble of the PW1830 and the high ,thin whine of the PW 545A are all music to my ears!

    Biman acquired or leased a 747 classic in old NW colors and painted it in a nice hybrid livery. Don't know if they still have it and could use it to JFK

    It was leased, they don't have it anymore. :(
