MPs call Biman 'a cripple'

Posted by bangladesh

Two MPs on Monday demanded action against the Chairman of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, terming the flag carrier a crippled organisation.

Taking part at a discussion in Parliament, Jatiya Party lawmaker Mujibul Haque Chunnu and Independent MP Fazlul Azim also drew the Prime Minister's attention for proper action regarding its Board of Directors.

Biman started to plunge into schedule chaos after a Boeing 747, which can carry 500 passengers, was hired from the Portuguese charter company Air Atlanta, but it left on Sept 12 before time agreed in a deal between Biman and the company.

The airline had to cancel seven of its scheduled flights in the last two days, throwing travel plans of thousands of passengers into chaos.

Shedding light on the on-going schedule disorder of Biman, Chunnu said, " Biman has become a crippled and useless organisation. The Biman Chairman is responsible for that. The whole government is being harmed because of this single person."

"Why actions are not being taken against him (the Biman Chairman)?" he asked.

He also demanded a statement from the Civil Aviation Minister Faruk Khan over Biman's overall condition. The minister, however, was not present.

"The condition of Biman is terrible. It (Biman) could not even carry cricketers to Kathmandu," Fazlul Azim said.

He also expressed his fears that Biman will fail to ferry Bangladeshi pilgrims to Saudi Arabia successfully this year.

Azim said, "The chairman (of Biman) is a mighty man, a super mighty man. Ministers come and go… They (ministers) can't do anything to him"

"He gives explanation to none. Biman is almost on the verge of collapse due to one person (chairman)," he added.
