He said, "The pilot received a cabin pressure warning signal. As a precautionary measure, the aircraft was brought back to Dhaka without taking any risks."
Masud khan added that the passengers were later flown to Dammam on a different aircraft and the returned aircraft was thoroughly inspected by Biman's engineering team.
"Since everything was found to be in order, the same aircraft will be used for another flight later tonight," he said.
