Security alert delays Biman flight from Calcutta

By Special Correspondent
A Bangladesh Bi man flight from Calcutta to Dhaka yesterday was delayed for more than one hour and a half due to a se-' curity alert at Dum Dum airport in Calcutta. Biman sources said.
The security at the Dum Dum airport gave a message to the Airbus captain 10 minutes before takeoff saying they had received an information that there would an attempt to hi-Jack the aircraft.
The Airbus A 310-300 was carrying a full load of 219 passengers Including some foreigners. It was scheduled to land at Zia International Airport at 1:05 pm.
It took off after a thorough tiicvn ui niiu iiici*
hand luggage and landed at the ZIA at 2:40 pm.
The passengers complained of rough handling during the security check by Calcutta po lice and security personnel.
The Airbus later left for Kuala Lumpur on a scheduled flight after some delay.
Meanwhile, the enquiry committee probing the recent crash-landing of Biman's F-28 in Sylhet will again interview its crew today, sources in the Civil Aviation Authority said yesterday.
They said the six-member committee, headed by Group Captain Iqbal. Member (Operations) of the Civil Aviation Authority, is likely to complete its investigation by mid-January.
An assessor from the undertakers of the F-28. Ms U. went to Sylhet yesterday afternoon by a Biman flight to survey the aircraft, lying like a lame duck on a wetland, eight km off the runway.
Another surveyor from the Uoyds was expected to arrive in the city last night from London to assess the damage and determine the insurance payment.
Biman's management board has decided to put on hold a decision on buying at least two short-haul aircraft for its domestic service, limping with only one aircraft.
It had opted for taking lease of two aircraft. But the decision could not be finalised because of two powerful lobbies represent Ing the Dehavilland Bomabardier of Canada and AIR. an European consortium.
Biman is also trying to take lease of one aircraft on from the Australian National Airlines. But there has been no progress.
The holidays also delayed sending of the black box and the voice recorder of the damaged F-28 to an European company for decoding the conversation between its crew and airtraffic controllers.
The airline operated five domestic flights with the lone ATP aircraft yesterday.
