Biman airbus stuck at Dubai since Saturday


An airbus of Biman Bangladesh Airlines Ltd remains stuck at Dubai International Airport since Saturday due to technical glitches.

The aircraft was supposed to fly to Dhaka from Dubai on Saturday with 300 passengers on board, said a Biman source.

Abdul Mamdud Khan, general manager flight operations (central control), told The Daily Star last night that the plane was stranded at the Dubai International Airport due to technical faults.

Biman sources said engineers from Bangladesh have already been sent to Dubai to repair the aircraft.
