VVIP Flight of Biman Bangladesh

The ground maintenance team of Bangladesh Biman has miserably failed to follow the laid down routine procedures for check-up of aircrafts before scheduled flights, especially for VVIPs. This calls for stringent supervision by the Head of the Engineering and Technical officials. The aircraft carrying our Prime Minister should have been thoroughly and repeatedly checked for glitches, even apart from the regular the security drill. The timely detection of the loose nut causing lube oil leak by the Boeing 777-300 pilot thankfully saved the passengers and our Prime Minister from any fatal incidence.

We applaud the acumen of the pilot and crew members for taking a prompt decision. The suspension of the maintenance engineers/technical staff is not enough. The head of the concerned department  should bear the responsibility for such negligence, and ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future
