A Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight made a safe landing at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka on Friday afternoon despite losing one of its wheels shortly after take-off from Cox’s Bazar.


ABM Rawshan Kabir, General Manager (Public Relations) of the state-owned airline, told UNB, “We cannot confirm the exact reason or details at this point about the mid-air wheel loss. A full inspection by the engineering department will determine it."

According to the control room at Cox’s Bazar Airport, one of the wheels of flight BG-436 detached suddenly moments after the aircraft took off from the runway.

The flight, which was carrying 71 passengers, departed Cox’s Bazar at 1:17pm and successfully landed in Dhaka at 2:17pm without further incident, reports UNB.

The flight operations remain as usual at Dhaka airport.
