Outgoing acting managing director Captain Sheikh Nasiruddin Ahmed also applied for the post. Another former acting managing director remains among the applicants, said a competent source.
Sources said former air force officials will get priority in this regard as former Biman MD and CEO Air Commodore (retd) Zakiul Islam was a former official of air force.
The incumbent engineering director is also an air force official.
The detail information about the foreigner applicants could not be known immediately.
