A Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane skidded off the runway in Yangon International Airport on Wednesday.

Shakil Meraj, general manager of public relations for Biman Bangladesh Airlines told Dhaka Tribune that an S2-AGQ - Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 plane skidded off the runway while landing around 6:22pm due to bad weather.

He also said that all passengers are safe. Biman sent a special flight to Yangon from Dhaka at 10:00pm to bring back the passengers and crew.

Facebook photographs show the plane lying on the grass near the runway in Yangon airport after it slid off the runway.

There were 29 passengers, including a child on-board the flight, besides two pilots and two cabin crew members.

Flight BG060 of Bangladesh Biman took off from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport around 3:45pm, he said.

Yangon International Airport did not confirm the crash but announced that heavy rain had caused them to suspend "runway operations until further notice," reports AFP.

Other incoming flights were diverted to the capital, Naypyidaw.

Thirty-three people including the crew were on board from Bangladesh, Myanmar, Canada, China, India, France, and Switzerland.

Another senior Biman official said: "To the best of my knowledge, there were no deaths in the mishap."

"Due to bad weather, the aircraft skidded off the runway injuring some passengers and two pilots," he said.

Bangladesh Ambassador to Myanmar, Manjurul Karim Khan Chowdhury, told Dhaka Tribune from Yangon, that the front wheel of the aircraft broke in landing at the airport, where it was raining with strong gusting winds.

Nineteen passengers, including two pilots were admitted to hospital to treat their injuries, he said.

"Eleven passengers were released upon receiving treatment at the airport clinic," he added.

The ambassador also said: "Two of our mission officials are already in the hospital where the injured are being treated. I am also on my way to the hospital."

On March 12 last year, another Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 turboprop plane of US Bangla Airlines with 71 passengers and crew crashed on landing at Nepal's Kathmandu airport, killing 49 people.

How the hell can you carry on and land in TSRA with VRB at 20 knots!

thats tame weather for those parts

[Icelanta]

thats tame weather for those parts
tame for the area it may be,
you do NOT land in these conditions.
You hold or divert.

divert to another airport where the weather is the same, or worse...welcome to the Bay of Bengal...and surrounding regions

Although you may believe your comment is sound, I would guess you are not familiar with the area and associated weather Icelanta. Should you fly there you might be doing a lot of holding (possibly in equally poor conditions) and diverting (if you have the range to the nearest Icelanta wx free airport.

[albatross]

Used to fly out of there in a helicopter....very limited options for holding or an good alternate.
Made for some interesting approaches.

[safelife]

My first experience in Yangon:
Planned to do some landing training there.
Mid of raining season, but weather seemed fine.
How much fuel do we take? Two hours worth seems fine.
Airborne, completed the first pattern.
Turning downwind, lots of rain.
Turning base, tower advises against landing.
Picked up a hold.
Got told airport probably closed next two hours due heavy rain.
Oops.

we fly daily to the area, but we take enough fuel to either hold or land at a suitable airport. And yes, my comment is sound. It is called airmanship.

the single worst piece of airmanship I saw was recently in DAC by Emirates, departing in a +TS in torrential rain, claiming “ the conditions are within my company limits”... maybe you fly for them, then I pity you and your standards.

well, aviation is lucky to have such an aviator as yourself...glad you are so much better than the rest...probably best though, to stay inside your own cockpit, and leave others to theirs...

That’s what a PR person would say, I suppose. Safe is a relative concept.

I learned today that a Calgary passenger broke her back in the accident and is now in hospital in Bangkok.

The crash fractured two of Russell’s vertebrae, compressed her spine and left her with a serious concussion.

Scary stuff:

[TowerDog]

While in the air, the captain applied the brake pedal several times. At a height of 44 feet, the captain put the propellers in beta range and reduced the power lever angle to 18 degrees. The aircraft sank again and collided with runway 03 and slid forward. It left the runway and came to a complete stop in the over-run area.

Wow...:ooh:

That'll stop you every time.:sad:

We are only a "statistically safe" industry because the vast majority of us do not behave, or are not forced into behaving, like this.
We will never be a truly safe industry until we ALL stop behaving or being forced into accepting situations where we have to behave like this.

[Andrewgr2]

I see aviation safety net classify this as controlled flight into terrain – ground. Didn’t look very controlled to me!

To be fair, that was the Myanmar AAIB's classification. I suspect that ICAO's ADREP will have classed it an as ARC (Abnormal Runway Contact).
