Dubai airport shut after accident
Dubai International Airport
Dubai airport is one of the Middle East's busiest
Dubai international airport could be closed for up to eight hours after 14 people were slightly injured in an aircraft accident, officials say.

The details of the accident were not clear, but it involved a Biman Bangladesh Airlines aeroplane carrying 236 passengers and crew.

Flight BG006 from Dubai to Dhaka "had a minor accident during take-off," the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority said.

It said all the passengers and crew had been evacuated from the plane.

An official said there was no indication that terrorism had played any part in the incident.

The aviation authority said the airport would be closed for at least eight hours to run through safety procedures to make sure the runway was safe for other planes.

Incoming flights are being diverted elsewhere.
