Biman Bangladesh Airlines has been hit with controversy after reports surfaced online alleging that two of its female cabin crew members offered “special services” to Business Class passengers during a flight. The alleged exchange, which reportedly involved gold or foreign currency, quickly became a hot topic across South Asian social media platforms.
The sensational claims suggested that only Business Class travellers received such treatment, leaving Economy Class passengers frustrated and excluded. While the reports have not been officially verified, the story has captured widespread attention, sparking heated discussion and humour online.
Viral Buzz and Public Reaction
The allegations gained momentum after a viral post circulated on Facebook, triggering thousands of comments within days. Some netizens mocked the situation, joking that “the real business was happening in Business Class” while others claimed the airline’s premium tickets had suddenly become more appealing.
Reactions were mixed, with some expressing disbelief, while others criticised the alleged conduct as damaging to the airline’s reputation. A few even quipped that the incident could turn Biman into “the most in-demand airline in South Asia” for the wrong reasons.
Concerns Over Reputation
Although no official confirmation has been made, the story has highlighted the risks airlines face in an era where viral content can shape public perception almost instantly. Aviation observers noted that even unverified claims could have long-lasting effects on a national carrier’s image, especially as Biman continues to expand its international routes.
With the airline yet to release any public statement on the matter, speculation continues to swirl online. For now, what began as a social media post has turned into a full-blown talking point about airline professionalism, customer expectations, and the power of digital chatter in influencing real-world reputations.
