Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to officially inaugurate the expansion work on the Cox’s Bazar Airport runway virtually tomorrow as part of a project to  make it an international standard one.

The government has taken the initiative to upgrade the airport through extending its runway by reclaiming land from the sea so that international flights operated by wide body aircraft can land at the airport.

After completion of the project, the new 10,700 feet runway will allow wide-bodied aircraft like Boeing 777 and 747 to operate at the airport paving the way for operation of international flights.

State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism M Mahbub Ali and Chairman of Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) will be present in person at the ceremony.বিস্তারিত
