Dhaka Airport’s Third Terminal Faces New Delay Over Contract Deadlock
The long-awaited third terminal at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is facing another delay due to unresolved contract negotiations.
Officials say disagreements between the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh and a Japanese operating consortium over revenue-sharing terms have slowed progress.
The terminal was expected to improve passenger handling and cargo capacity significantly.
Sources indicate that even after contract finalization, operational testing could take several more months.
The project is one of Bangladesh’s largest aviation infrastructure investments and is seen as critical for improving international travel efficiency.
Travelers and airlines are now waiting for a revised official opening timeline.
