01 · Why Bangladesh, why now
Biman is buying aircraft. Parts and repair demand follows.
Biman placed the largest order in its history in April 2026 and added to it in September. Two of the incoming types, the 787-10 and the 737-8, are new to the airline. Both will need new component support and repair sources.

03 · What we do
One local agent for the full Biman cycle.
From the first enlistment document to the final payment advice, we handle the parts of the process that need someone in Bangladesh.
-
01
Enlistment with Biman
Biman will not accept a quote from a supplier that is not enlisted. We assemble your file against Biman’s checklist, coach the submission (you email Biman directly, with us in copy) and follow up until you are on the list.
-
02
Same-day RFQ relay
Biman’s e-IT RFQs close two to four days after issue, often several a week. We forward each one the day it arrives, matched to your capability list and part numbers.
-
03
Quotation support
Before your quote goes to Biman’s e-IT address we check it against the terms: condition code, release certificate, FOB point, S/N, DOM, TSN/TSO, cycles, warranty and shelf life.
-
04
Orders, shipping and AOG
We book the PO, confirm shipping instructions, forwarder and AWB, and settle P/N discrepancies or wrong shipments with Biman. Critical and AOG requests are flagged and chased the same day.
-
05
Repair-loop coordination
For Part-145 principals: unserviceable units out, teardown report and quote back, repair order approved, and TAT and capability questions answered on site.
-
06
Payment follow-up
Biman’s stated terms are 40 days from receipt of goods. In practice payment can run longer. We follow up in person with Purchase and Finance until the invoice is cleared.
We are a sales representative, not a repair station. All certified work is carried out by our principals under their own Part-145 approvals.
04 · How enlistment works
Enlistment is the gate. We take you through it.
Biman sends spares RFQs only to enlisted suppliers, by email through its e-IT system. They do not appear on the public tenders page. This is the process, and the documents Biman asks for.
-

Agreement
We sign a sales representation agreement. You issue a Letter of Appointment naming Air Support BD as your representative.
-
2
Document file
We build your file against Biman’s checklist and review each item before it goes in.

Submission
You email Biman directly, with us in copy. We brief the right desk in Engineering & Material Management.
