The country's national flag carrier has brought home its 17 passengers on a special flight from Myanmar.
The special flight BG061 landed at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at 4:30am, said Biman Bangladesh Airlines chief of staff captain Shoaib Chowdhury on Thursday.
These passengers were those of Yangon-Dhaka BG060, the returned flight of a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane that met with an accident at the Yangon International Airport.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines aircraft Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 with 33 people on board veered off the runway while landing at the Yangon airport around 6:30pm, leaving all of them more or less injured.
Nineteen of them were then rushed to North Okkalapa Hospital in Yangon. Of them, four were released after giving primary aid later at night.
In an announcement on its Facebook page on Wednesday, Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation said the airport re-opened at 9:01pm local time.
However, a part of the runway next to the accident site was still nonoperational, it said.
The Myanmar aviation authority advised travellers to contact their airlines for flight updates.
The aircraft fuselage broke in just behind the forward passenger door and just behind the rear service door, according to the Aviation Safety Network, which covers air accident and safety issues.
The undercarriage collapsed and the right hand wing also seems to have broken at the attachment point with the fuselage, it said in an entry on the accident on its website.
