- Date: October 8, 2004
- Aircraft: Fokker F28 Fellowship
- Location: Sylhet, Sylhet, Bangladesh
- Fatalities: 0
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: The aircraft landed long because the crew did not use the PAPI, flew a wrong approach configuration and were high with excess speed at touchdown. Wet runway and aquaplaning reduced braking, and the crew did not go around.
A Biman Fokker F28 flying BG601 from Dhaka landed in heavy rain at Sylhet with low ceiling and strong winds. It touched down far down the wet runway and could not stop, overran and came to rest in a drainage ditch. Thirty passengers were slightly injured and both pilots were seriously injured.
