On 5 November, an incident occurred at Dhaka Airport in Bangladesh involving a Kuwait Airways Boeing 777-300ER (registration 9K-AOJ) flying from Kuwait City to Dhaka.

Immediately after passengers disembarked, the jetway collapsed, damaging the front left door (1L) of the aircraft. Despite the significant damage, there were no injuries among passengers or crew. Images of the incident circulating on social media show that the door was completely ripped from its anchorage.

The authorities at Dhaka Airport and Kuwait Airways have immediately launched investigations to clarify the exact circumstances of the accident. The Boeing 777-300ER aircraft is regularly used for long-haul flights and technical inspections are intended to ensure that similar incidents are avoided. The aircraft currently remains at Dhaka Airport for further analysis.
