With a total death toll of 49 people, it is the deadliest aviation disaster to occur on Bangladeshi soil and also the airline's worst accident.<ref name="nytimes">{{cite news|date=6 August 1984|title=AROUND THE WORLD; 49 Die in Bangladesh As Plane Plunges|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|agency=[[Reuters]]|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/08/06/world/around-the-world-49-die-in-bangladesh-as-plane-plunges.html|accessdate=14 August 2014|issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Ranter|first=Harro|title=Bangladesh air safety profile|url=http://aviation-safety.net/database/country/country.php?id=S2|access-date=18 November 2019|website=aviation-safety.net|publisher=Aviation Safety Network}}</ref>

==Aircraft and crew==

The aircraft, a [[Fokker F27 Friendship|Fokker F27-600]] registered S2-ABJ, was manufactured in 1971.<ref name="ASN"/> It first flew for [[Indian Airlines]] but it was given to Biman in 1972, as a part of all the support given to Bangladesh by the [[Government of India]] following [[History of Bangladesh after independence|Bangladesh's Independence]]. At the time of the accident, the aircraft had flown more than 24,000 cycles and more than 15,500 airframe hours.<ref name="ASN"/>

The captain of the flight was Kayes Ahmed Majumdar, an experienced pilot who had logged 5,000 flying hours. The first officer was [[Kaniz Fatema Roksana]], who was the first female commercial pilot of Bangladesh.<ref name="First_female">{{cite web|title=Breaking the Glass Ceiling|url=http://archive.thedailystar.net/magazine/2010/03/01/cover.htm|accessdate=23 June 2015|website=thedailystar.net}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=10 December 2013|title=First in Bangladesh – First Bangladeshi|url=http://all-bangladesh.com/first-in-bangladesh-first-bangladeshi/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140814135202/http://all-bangladesh.com/first-in-bangladesh-first-bangladeshi/|archive-date=14 August 2014|access-date=18 November 2019|website=all-bangladesh.com|publisher=All Bangladesh}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=1 April 2015|title=Plane crash kills female trainee pilot in Bangladesh|url=https://www.deccanherald.com/content/469137/plane-crash-kills-female-trainee.html|access-date=18 November 2019|website=Deccan Herald|language=en}}</ref>

==Accident==

The weather conditions in Dhaka were poor on the day of the accident; there was turbulence and heavy rain made visibility very poor.<ref name="FI1985-35">{{cite journal|title= Commercial flight safety: 1984 reviewed – Fatal accidents: scheduled passenger flights|journal= [[Flight International]]|date= 26 January 1985|page= 35|format= PDF|url= http://www.flightglobal.com/pdfarchive/view/1985/1985%20-%200249.html|accessdate= 14 August 2014 }}</ref> Amid these conditions, the crew first attempted a [[VOR/DME|VOR]] approach to [[Zia International Airport]]'s runway 32. As the runway was not spotted by either crew member, a [[missed approach]] was executed. The crew then tried an [[Instrument approach|ILS approach]] on runway 14 of the same airport, but a missed approach had to be executed again as both pilots had failed to spot the runway once again. On the crew's third approach (second on runway 14), the plane got too low while it was still several hundred meters from the runway but neither crew member realized this (due to the poor visibility) and the plane crashed into a swamp about 550 meters short of the runway.{{efn|It was also stated that the aircraft crashed beyond the runway, but considering the crash location (north west of Dhaka) and the fact that the flight was approaching runway 14 of DAC (approach is from north west of Dhaka city), it is clear that the plane crashed short of the runway and not beyond it.}}<ref name="ASN"/>

==Passengers==
There were a total of 45 passengers and 4 crew members on board the flight, all of whom perished in the crash. There was one British and one Japanese among the passengers, and the rest were Bangladeshi. Thirty-three of the passengers were traveling to Dhaka to catch connecting flights to the Middle East.<ref name="nytimes" />
