On August 7, 2026, Biman Bangladesh Airlines' flight BG306, en route from Toronto to Dhaka via Rome, encountered a technical problem at Rome Fiumicino Airport, leading to a delay. The same aircraft was scheduled to operate the return flight, BG305 from Dhaka to Toronto, resulting in its postponement as well. The airline has assured passengers that necessary inspections and repairs are being conducted to ensure safety.
Technical Fault and Inspections
Biman confirmed the technical issue in a press release, stating that the fault was detected during the operation of BG306. While the aircraft is undergoing necessary repairs, safety inspections are being performed. The airline stated that BG306 will depart for Dhaka once all technical issues are resolved and safety checks are completed. The updated departure schedule for BG306 will be announced soon.
Rescheduled Departure for BG305
Due to the shared aircraft for both BG306 and BG305, the latter's departure has also been rescheduled. The new departure time for BG305 from Dhaka to Toronto is set for 1:00 PM on August 8. Passengers are advised to arrive at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport by 9:00 AM for the revised flight.
