A US-Bangla Airlines international flight from Dubai to Dhaka was diverted to Sylhet Osmani International Airport on Sunday morning due to continuous rain and poor visibility over Dhaka. Flight BS-342, carrying 148 passengers, landed safely in Sylhet at 11:35 a.m. after it became impossible to land at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport because of adverse weather and reduced runway visibility.

According to airport officials, the diversion was made in line with international civil aviation safety regulations to ensure passenger safety. Sylhet Osmani International Airport Director Hafiz Ahmed confirmed the safe landing and said passengers were being provided with necessary assistance. The flight will depart for Dhaka once weather conditions improve and required formalities are completed.

Officials added that ongoing rain and unfavorable weather have temporarily disrupted air operations in several parts of the country, but flights are expected to resume on schedule once conditions normalize.
