‘Aircraft too old for Saudi clearance’.

Saudi Arabian authorities have denied clearance to a Boeing 747 aircraft that Biman has leased from Nigerian Kabo Air to carry Hajj pilgrims as it is 'too old'.
This aircraft, leased by the Biman Bangladesh Airlines, was supposed to carry 582 Hajj pilgrims to Jeddah on
Saturday morning.
"As per Saudi regulations, no aircraft over
20 years is given flying clearance and the
one leased from Kabo is 21-year old," a
Biman official told bdnews24.com on
condition of anonymity.
As the aircraft did not get Saudi authorities clearance, Biman used its own
Boeing 777 aircraft to carry 419 pilgrims
leaving behind 163 passengers.
The Biman official hoped to get the
clearance within Sunday. "As the aircraft
is old so they are checking all its documents," he said.
The Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh
(CAAB) had blacklisted Kabo for
committing defraud in renting an aircraft
in 2009.
Biman's Managing Director Kevin Steele,
however, claimed the aircraft was 20
years old.
"Kabo should have applied earlier to the
General Authority of Civil Aviation
(GACA) of Saudi Arabia for clearance
earlier," he said.
He said the GACA was closed on Saturday
and will resume operations on Sunday.
Steele, Biman's first foreign MD, said, the
national flag carrier has to pay USD
11,750 per flying hour for the aircraft.
Meanwhile, Hajj Agencies Association of
Bangladesh (HAAB) has expressed
concern over smooth flight operation in
the wake of complications on Saturday,
the first day of the Hajj flights.
The platform's chief Ibrahim Habib told
bdnews24.com this was not the first time
there had been problems with Kabo's
aircraft.
Former member of Biman Board of
Directors, Kazi Wahedul Alam has termed leasing of aircraft from Kabo as 'suicidal'.

WZoneLite – A Pretty Cool WooCommerce Amazon Affiliate Plugin .

Everyone wants to make a million dollars by being a blogger. The promise of riches and internet fame is a big draw to doing it for a lot of people, and I’m sorry to say that the reality of being a blogger (even a professional blogger!) is not quite…as financially lucrative as all that. But that’s not to say that it  can’t be –one of the best ways to start your empire is with an Amazon affiliate plugin. For me, the Amazon Associates program has been one of the biggest earners for me over the years. Not only are there CPM ads like Google Adsense (you know, the normal banner ads we all love to hate), but any time someone clicks a link from your site, you get a percentage of  anything  they buy while the token from your site lasts in their browser. If they buy a song, you get a few cents. If they buy a new MacBook Pro and iPhone? You get…a lot more cents. With that in mind, WZoneLite is a  pretty cool WooCommerce Amazon affiliate plugin that syncs everything together s...

Dangerous sex Positions For Men

The most common cause of pénile injury is found among the variety of potentially dangerous positions used for séxual intercourse. The most popular is the ‘woman-on-top’. This type of position can result in an impact between the pénis against the female pelvis or perineum that can easily traumatize the pénile cylinders. A pénis becomes érect when the lining of the cylinder within it is engorged with blood.  A pénis fracture can occur when there is trauma to the eréct pénis, resulting in a rupture of the cylinder lining. This very painful injury is often accompanied by an abrupt, distressing cracking noise that is immediately followed by dark bruising of the pénis due to blood escaping the cylinder. In ten to 30% of pénis fractures, the urethra is damaged and blood may be visible at the urinary opening. Given these signs, an injury should be relatively simple to diagnose, right? You would be surprised, even with the unsettling sounds of a fracture occurring, many men...
