Biman Bangladesh Airlines faces significant flight delays, with over 30% of flights departing late. International flights are more affected, with up to 60% delayed in some months. The airline’s on-time performance (OTP) averages 69.37% for departures and 66% for arrivals. Reasons for delays include weather, maintenance issues, and aircraft shortages. Biman is implementing measures to improve punctuality, but experts say more action is needed to enhance the airline’s reputation and performance. Prothom Alo
