Aircraft takeoff aborted at Dhaka airport
The takeoff of a Regent Airways aircraft was aborted at the capital's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport yesterday following technical glitches.
The Singapore-bound flight with 111 passengers on board was scheduled to fly at 11:30am. The pilot found some technical problems in its landing gear, Akter U Ahmed, chief commercial officer of the airline, told The Daily Star.
With another standby aircraft of the private airline, the passengers flew to Singapore around 4:00pm, added Akhtar.
The aircraft was moved away from the taxiway of the airport for repair.
A Biman official said the incident might lead a fatal accident if fire broke out in the engine.
