Bangladesh, Sept. 13 -- US-Bangla Airlines plans to place another major order for leased aircraft worth $4-5 billion within the next 60 days, Managing Director Abdullah Al Mamin said on Saturday.

"We will order more leased aircraft worth $4-5 billion within the next 60 days," he said at a policy conclave titled "World-class aviation for Bangladesh's economic progress", organised by The Daily Bonik Barta at the United Convention Centre in Kurmitola, in the city.

However, Al Mamin did not disclose how many aircraft would be leased under the planned deal. Earlier, US-Bangla announced plans to acquire 21 Boeing aircraft through a $1.5 billion leasing deal as part of a major fleet expansion programme.
