Passengers of multiple Biman Bangladesh flights faced severe hardship at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong after their flights were diverted due to dense fog. Frustration over the lack of food for more than six hours sparked protests, during which some airport chairs were vandalized. Airport sources said that between 3 and 4am on Friday, three flights from Delhi, Muscat, and Kuwait landed at Shah Amanat. Despite the long wait, no food was provided, and the flights eventually returned to Dhaka in the morning and afternoon. Shah Amanat International Airport’s Public Relations Officer, Engineer Mohammad Ibrahim Khalil, said the passengers became impatient due to the long wait and absence of food.
