The aircraft of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, which was reportedly attempted to hijack by a passenger, will resume its operation by flying for Sylhet on Thursday morning.
The spokesman of the national carrier Shakil Meraj told UNB that the flight no BG-601 of Boeing 737-800 ‘Mayurpankhi’ will fly for Sylhet from Dhaka airport at 10:45am.
Earlier on February 24, a joint team of the para-commando wing of
 Bangladesh Army, Bangladesh Air Force, and Rapid Action Battalion killed a passenger who allegedly tried to hijack the Dubai-bound ‘Mayurpankhi’ mid-air on way from Dhaka to Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram.
All 142 passengers and crewmembers were evacuated safely from the aircraft before a commando operation was conducted on it.
