  • However, with the rise of private domestic carriers in Bangladesh, Biman's domestic passenger count in 2005–06 was just over 162,000, a 35% drop over the previous ten years. Doesn't quite follow. The count in one year should be a 35% drop compared specifically to another year, not ten years. Each of those ten years had different passenger numbers I presume?
Does it make any more sense now (copyedit is not my strong point)? → AA (talk) — 13:31, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • The previous Managing Director, M. A. Momen, was appointed the CEO as well as MD in the new organisation. Could you possibly find his full name somewhere?

  • Just a final couple:
  • Although Boeing proposed to arrange finances to buy the aircraft seeking a guarantee from the Bangladesh government; After bureaucratic delays and a perceived lack of commitment from the government, Boeing lost interest and the plans were cancelled.[91] Needs fixing.

  • This was the first incident of bird flu in Bangladesh. Ideally should be sourced.

  • The restaurant was opened by the Bangladesh national cricket team and earned its owner, an expatriate Bangladeshi from the United Kingdom, a meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The former Prime Minister? (I think the source itself makes this error)
 Done. I guess she was Prime Minister at the time but not anymore.
  • The strike, lasting 9 hours, stranded more than 1,000 passengers at Zia International Airport, which was maintained by Biman.[112] Is that sentence saying that Biman maintains the Airport? If so does it still do, in which case it would be "is" rather than "was".
 Done
