US-Bangla Airlines announces all-out support to plane crash victims

The US-Bangla Airlines has announced to provide all kinds of assistance to bring back the deceased and injured Bangladeshis.

The airliner said a total of 26 people including pilot and three crews among 36 Bangladeshis were killed in the plane crash of its flight in Kathmandu.

The rest 10 Bangladeshi were under treatment in Nepal, it said.

Md Kamrul Islam, General Manager (GM), Marketing Support and PR of US-Bangla Airlines came up with the statement at a press briefing at their Baridhara office on Tuesday

The bodies will be brought back after completing all formalities, he said

"Seven officials of our airline already went to Nepal and we are trying to hand over the bodies as soon as possible", he added.

Over the controversy of the pilot's fault in the crash, he claimed that the pilot had no fault regarding the crash.

"He might have misguided by the Air Control Room (ACT) at the last minute," he suspected.

"We can't be sure about the cause now, the audio of the ATC conversation and black box contains the evidences which could confirm the main cause after proper inspection", he added, according to UNB.

"But six officials who were on-duty at ATC during the accident on Monday were recently transferred elsewhere, according to some Nepalese media report which is confusing", he said.

The US-Bangla Airlines flight BS211, which flew from Dhaka to Kathmandu carrying 67 passengers and four crew members, crashed at Tribhuvan International Airport in Nepal on Monday, leaving 51 people dead.
