A Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight has been stranded at Dubai International Airport for more than 26 hours after a mechanical failure grounded the aircraft, leaving passengers in limbo. The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, carrying 178 passengers, had been scheduled to travel from Dubai to Dhaka via Sylhet. The aircraft had landed in Dubai from Dhaka at 10:11pm local time on Tuesday. On Wednesday evening, another Biman flight arrived in Dubai carrying spare parts to repair the Dreamliner. “We were kept in a hotel for 21 hours and then brought to Dubai Airport,” he said over the phone.
