A Singapore-bound Biman Bangladesh Airlines Boeing 737 aircraft made an emergency landing this morning at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) after striking by birds.
The aircraft, carrying 156 passengers and seven crews, made a safe emergency landing as the pilot realized it was hit by birds after taking off HSIA at 8:25 am, Biman's spokesperson told BSS.
"The pilot made a safe landing at 9.20 am and no casualty has been reported," said Tahera Khondoker, deputy general manager (PR) of the national flag carrier.
The aircraft was sent to the hanger while the passengers flew to Singapore by another Boeing 737 aircraft at 10.30 am, she said.
