State Minister for Civil Aviation M Rashiduzzaman Millat announced on February 18, 2026, that passengers will receive their luggage immediately after completing immigration formalities. Speaking to reporters at the Secretariat on the first day of the new government, he said necessary steps and a plan have already been prepared to ensure that travelers, especially expatriates, do not face long waits or corruption during baggage collection.

Millat stated that the ministry is working with the Civil Aviation Authority to bring visible changes to airport operations, aiming for passengers to find their luggage on the belt as soon as immigration is done. He emphasized that the reform plan covers not only ticketing but also baggage handling and other areas where passengers face difficulties.

The state minister also vowed to dismantle existing ticket syndicates that prevent passengers from obtaining tickets despite empty flights. He assured that noticeable improvements will begin within one to two weeks as part of a gradual transformation of airport services.
