A potential disaster was averted as a Biman Bangladesh flight, from
Muscat to Dhaka, made a safe emergency landing at the Nagpur airport
after the pilot reportedly suffered a heart attack mid-air, officials
said here on Friday.
The Boeing 737 aircraft, with 126 passengers
on board, was cleared for landing shortly before 11.45 a.m. and the
pilot rushed to a local hospital.
An alternative Biman Bangladesh
aircraft with 8 crew members from Dhaka is expected to reach Nagpur
later to take back the passengers stranded here, the officials said.
The
medical emergency happened when flight BG-22 was overflying the Indian
state of Chhattisgarh and it contacted the Kolkata air traffic control
(ATC) for priority landing.
The flight was advised to contact,
and divert to, the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport for the
emergency landing which went off uneventfully.
All the passengers on board were reported safe, said the officials.
