Int'l flights from Cox's Bazar Airport to start partially by mid-October: CAAB chairman
Air Vice Marshal M Mostafa Mahmood Siddiqi, chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh, today (17 August) expressed optimism that international flight operations will begin partially at Cox's Bazar Airport by mid-October.
"Today, we inspected the progress of the 2nd terminal of the airport and the runway constructed over the sea. It appears that by mid-October, it will be possible to operate international flights partially from Cox's Bazar Airport," he said after visiting the airport.
Responding to a query from reporters, the CAAB chairman said, "Although it's difficult to say exactly what percentage of the work [of terminals] has been completed, it will be possible to start operations by mid-October. We are in the final stages of preparation for that."
