A total of 268 passengers of a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight have been waiting for over 10 hours at the Dubai airport so far due to a "technical glitch" in the aircraft.

The Biman flight, BG348, was scheduled to fly back to Dhaka from Dubai at 12:05 am (local time) today.

Tahera Khandaker, general manager for public relations at Biman Bangladesh Airlines, stated that after the passengers boarded, a technical problem struck the flight.

"Engineers in Dubai are working to resolve the technical issue. Necessary components have already been sent from Bangladesh," she said.

The passengers are currently waiting at the Dubai airport lounge, said Tahera Khandaker.

"They have been provided with breakfast and lunch. Unfortunately, we couldn't arrange hotel accommodations for them. They will be brought back to Dhaka according to the updated schedule once the flight is repaired," the Biman official added.
