Biman Bangladesh Airlines (Bangla) is an airline based in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is the national airline and operates domestic services and international routes to Asia, and Europe. It has a 2 star ranking by Skytrax. Its main base is Zia International Airport, Dhaka.

The name Bangladesh Biman comes from the Bangla word biman, meaning "airplane". The word biman comes from the Sanskrit word vimāna, a name given to a type of flying machine mentioned in ancient Vedic literature.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines was established on 4 January 1972 and started operations in February 1972, when the Bangladesh Air Force gave the company a Douglas DC-3 that had seen action in World War II as a present. Soon after, a Boeing 707 and Fokker F27 Friendship aircraft joined the airline's fleet, allowing Biman to begin international flights.

In 1983 Biman acquired Douglas DC-10 aircraft, and subsequently other planes such as the Airbus A310, Fokker F28 and British Aerospace BAe ATP. On January 31, 2003, the airline received 2 Boeing 737s.

The airline is 100% owned by the Bangladesh government. However, the government is now planning to offer 40% of Biman to foreign airlines, with the intention that the buyer will assume management control of the carrier. A further 9% of the airline will go to employees.
