A high-level meeting will be held on April 3 at Bangladesh’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to finalize the operation and maintenance agreement for the third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. The process advanced after a Japanese consortium submitted a revised, lower-cost proposal addressing Bangladesh’s concerns over service charges, operational control, and revenue sharing. Officials from the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) confirmed that the agreement is now in its final stage.
The Japanese consortium—comprising Japan Airport Terminal Company, Sumitomo Corporation, Sojitz Corporation, and Narita International Airport Corporation—submitted the new proposal following government instructions to restart talks. The terminal, financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at a cost of about Tk 21,398 crore, is 99 percent complete but has remained idle due to unresolved management issues. The new government prioritized resolving these delays after taking office.
If consensus is reached at the April 3 meeting, officials expect the long-delayed terminal to begin operations soon, easing congestion and inefficiencies at the airport and marking a major step in Bangladesh’s aviation expansion.
