Biman moves to identify culprits
Biman Bangladesh Airlines has moved to identify two passengers for taking apart two monitors of the in-flight Entertainment (IFE) system of two seats of a brand new Boeing 787-9 aircraft, which was recently added to the Bangladesh Airlines fleet.
The aircraft was on a flight to Dhaka via Sylhet from Manchester on January 7 when the incident happened, Tahera Khandaker -- deputy general manager of public relations at Biman -- told The Daily Star.
“The aircraft’s engineering and other related departments are looking into the matter. Two monitors attached to seats -- 26A and 26B at economy class were forcibly pulled off,” she said.
“We are trying to identify the passengers of the two seats and take legal action against them,” added Tahera.
After landing of the aircraft at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, cabin crew of the Dreamliner noticed the incident, and reported to the officials concerned.
The new Boeing 787-9 aircraft has a total of 198 seats including 30 in business class, 21 in premium economy class and 247 in economy class.
It could not be known why passengers of the two seats tore up the monitors of the IEF.
On January 5, Dreamliner Sonar Tori began its commercial journey on Dhaka-Manchester route.
