Biman sent the passport of the pilot, Captain Fazal Mahmud, in another flight to Qatar later, Civil Aviation Secretary Mohibul Haque told bdnews24.com on Thursday. “It will be investigated with importance how the pilot got on the plane at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport without passport,” he said. bdnews24.com contacted the secretary after social media users claimed in posts that the pilot was halted at immigration of Doha International Airport for having no passport on him on Wednesday. Fazal would fly Hasina back to Bangladesh and his passport was sent to Qatar by a Regent Airways flight, he added. The issue of the pilot having no passport was found when the special flight reached Doha, according to Biman officials.
