Int'l flight makes emergency landing at Dhaka airport
A Doha bound flight of Qatar Airways, carrying 300 passengers, made an emergency landing last night at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) due to technical glitch in the aircraft's landing gear.
No one was hurt in the incident, Director of HSIA Group Captain Abdullah Al Farooq told reporters.
Sources at the airport said flight QR-635 took off from the airport around 8:00pm. The pilot decided to return to the airport as the left landing gear of the aircraft did not enter into the gearbox, added the source.
After contacting the control tower, the aircraft hovered in the sky to use up fuel reserve as per safety manual.
Airport authorities halted take-off and landing of other aircrafts and took all measures paving way for emergency landing.
