The government of Bangladesh has announced plans to transform the airports in Rajshahi, Cox’s Bazar, Jashore, and Saidpur into international gateways and to launch an integrated digital logistics platform. Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury made the announcement in Parliament while presenting the 2026–27 national budget, outlining a broader strategy to establish a national aviation connectivity grid and convert Dhaka, Chattogram, and Sylhet into integrated passenger and logistics hubs.
According to the minister, the initiatives aim to strengthen Bangladesh’s position in global trade and transport networks and to turn the country into a modern regional aviation center. The government is implementing several infrastructure projects, including terminal expansions at Jashore and Saidpur airports, full operation of the third terminal at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, and runway capacity upgrades in Sylhet and Chattogram. Development work at Cox’s Bazar Airport is also nearing completion.
The plan includes improving passenger services, cargo management, and aviation safety standards while promoting renewable energy use and workforce development. The government expects these measures to boost private investment, create jobs, and raise tourism’s contribution to GDP from six to seven percent.
