Aircraft operated by Biman imminently returning to Dhaka due to defective toilet flush mechanisms following initial takeoff
Biman Bangladesh Airlines Flight BG 327, initially bound for Abu Dhabi, was forced to return to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka early Monday morning. The return was due to a malfunction in all three of the aircraft's toilet flush systems, causing significant discomfort for passengers[1][2][4][5].
The flight, which departed from HSIA at 12:23 am on August 8, landed back at the same airport at 1:31 am. After the unexpected landing, passengers were transferred to a replacement aircraft for their onward journey to Abu Dhabi[2].
The malfunctioning toilets made the situation onboard increasingly uncomfortable for passengers, prompting the pilot's decision to return. The replacement aircraft for the Dhaka-Bangkok flight (BG 388) was scheduled for 11:30 am the same day[6].
Despite the inconvenience, all passengers from the original flight reached Abu Dhaki safely[7]. The specific reason for the delay in the Bangkok flight's operation was not mentioned in the provided paragraph[8]. It's also worth noting that the technical issue with the faulty toilet flush systems on the original flight has been repaired[3].
Biman Bangladesh Airlines Deputy General Manager Al Masud confirmed the matter. However, the exact time the replacement aircraft arrived for the Abu Dhabi flight was not provided in the information available[9]. The delayed Bangkok flight was operated in the afternoon[10].
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of proper aircraft maintenance, ensuring a comfortable and safe journey for all passengers. Biman Bangladesh Airlines has not yet issued a statement regarding any changes in their maintenance procedures following this incident.
