Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh Prepares Cox’s Bazar Airport for October Launch
What happened
The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh is preparing for the inauguration of Cox’s Bazar International Airport in the third week of October. CAAB documents show the international passenger terminal is 98.97 percent complete, while the runway expansion project is 91.65 percent complete, with both projects scheduled to run until December 2026. The runway has been extended from 9,000 feet to 10,700 feet, and the airport can handle wide-body aircraft, including the Boeing 777-300ER.

Why it matters
The nearing completion of the airport infrastructure increases its operational capacity, though uncertainty remains regarding which airlines will operate international flights from the tourist city. The expansion allows the airport to accommodate larger aircraft.
