A US Bangla ATR 72-600 craft suffered a bird strike during landing at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram.
The airplane landed around 8am on Saturday (Nov 2) without any damage.
Airport Manager Wing Commander ABM Sarwar-E-Zaman said, “The craft was hit by a bird during landing, but it landed safely on ground.”
However, airplanes are facing bird strike regularly at different airports in Bangladesh.
On Oct 14, a Biman Bangladesh Airlines’ 737-800 craft ‘Mayurpankhi’ had to make an emergency landing after hitting a bird.
