Biman's DC-10s: Use those as all-cargo aircraft

According to Star Business Report dated Thursday February 6, Biman will bid farewell to its last DC 10 on Feb 20 with Dhaka / Birmingham flight. I believe Biman plans to sell its two old DC 10 aircraft. I strongly recommend that these 2 aircraft be converted to all-cargo aircraft. An airline's yield is more on cargo revenue than passenger revenue these days. British Airways has withdrawn its flights from Dhaka for some valid reasons but they are carrying substantial cargo from Dhaka as off-line carrier. It is not true that spare-parts are not available for DC10. Biman can operate daily cargo flights Dhaka to Dubai and thrice weekly Dhaka/London/Rome/Dhaka or Dhaka/London/Frankfurt/Dhaka.
Biman's third B777ER aircraft has reached Dhaka and the fourth one will be delivered by third week of March. Your correspondent repeatedly reports that the B777s were purchased under a 10-aircraft deal with Boeing during the last caretaker government's tenure but forgets to mention that this was only possible because of the initiative and foresight of a professional like Singer's Chairman Mahbub Jamil who was in charge of Civil Aviation & Tourism during that CTG.
