Biman flight stuck at Kuala Lumpur due to technical glitches


An airbus of Bangladesh Biman has remained stuck at Kuala Lumpur airport since Sunday night due to glitches in its engine.

The Biman authorities said they sent starter (equipment to start engine) and engineers from Dhaka yesterday to fix the technical glitches. They also hoped that the airbus would fly to Dhaka today.

Biman sources said the airbus was scheduled to leave Kuala Lumpur for Dhaka at 9:00pm on Sunday but could not take off as one of its engines was not working.

Earlier on August 2, the departure of a Dhaka-bound Biman flight from Heathrow Airport in London was delayed for about 48 hours due to some technical reasons.
