Biman Bangladesh Airlines on Monday suspended operation of its ten flights on four domestic routes till Monday.
Biman has suspended these flights due to shortage of aircrafts following Wednesday’s Biman flight accident at Yangon Airport.
“Ten flights on Sylhet, Rajshahi, Jashore and Saidpur routes will remain
suspended due to shortage of aircrafts,” Shakil Meraj, General Manager (Public Relations) of Biman Bangladesh Airlines told it.
The Biman authorities run flight operation of ten domestic routes across the country with three planes of Bombardier Dash-8 model, said sources at the national flag carrier.
As a plane out of the three was damaged due to the flight accident in Myanmar’s Yangon International Airport, the authorities are facing problem to run its operation on all the domestic routes with the remaining aircrafts, the sources said.
On the other hand, Biman Bangladesh Airlines sent a special flight to Myanmar on Friday to bring back its pilot, cabin crew and ground engineers who got injured when one of its planes skidded off the runway at Yangon airport on May 8.
The special flight took off from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka for Yangon at 4:00pm, said Shakil Meraz, General Manager (Public Relations) of the national flag carrier.
The flight may return to Dhaka on Friday night after completing all necessary formalities, he added.
