Bangladesh Expands Boeing Order to 25 Jets in Push for Closer US Trade Ties
BA is trading near its 52-week low of $176.77 (15% above the low).
Summary
Bangladesh will buy 11 additional Boeing aircraft, bringing Biman Bangladesh Airlines' total planned order to 25 jets. The agreement, to be signed in New York on Wednesday, follows a $3.7 billion deal in April for 14 aircraft. The move is part of Dhaka's effort to reduce a $6 billion trade imbalance with the US and ease tariff pressure on its garment exports. For Boeing, this adds to a growing commercial backlog and reinforces demand from emerging markets. Details of the order value and delivery timeline are expected after the signing ceremony.
