A Boeing 787 Dreamliner of Biman Bangladesh Airlines returned from England on Sunday, six days after it was hit by a bird at Manchester Airport during landing.
The aircraft landed safely at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka at about 2pm, airport sources told Dhaka Tribune.
The Biman Dreamliner was hit by a bird on December 18 and subsequently underwent a mechanical complication.
It was the first time a Biman aircraft had suffered a bird strike abroad.
The airline at the time claimed that all passengers onboard were safe.
Earlier, the flight departed from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 11am (Bangladesh time) on December 17 with an expected arrival time of 7:30pm (local time) at Manchester Airport.
The flight was also scheduled to fly back to Dhaka with around 200 passengers at 9pm from Manchester.
However, it could not return due to the damage to the engine.
Afterwards, Biman also had to keep all passengers at Clayton Hotel, Manchester Airport, and spend £200 per passenger every day.
On Thursday, Biman sent two engineers by flight BG207 from Dhaka to Manchester at 11:50am. The flight reached Manchester on Friday.
Subsequently, Biman used BG207 to transport all passengers back to Dhaka on the same day.
