Air operations at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram were disrupted on Sunday due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. A total of ten international flights were canceled in the morning, including three departures and seven arrivals. However, Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG-135, initially listed among the canceled flights, departed for Jeddah at 4 p.m. carrying 419 passengers.

Airport public relations officer Engineer Mohammad Ibrahim Khalil said the cancellations were made temporarily for passenger safety. Earlier, six other flights had been canceled for the same reason. The affected flights included several bound for Dubai, Sharjah, and Doha. Authorities stated that further decisions would be taken after monitoring the situation.

Sources indicated that uncertainty in flight operations may continue until the regional conflict stabilizes, suggesting potential ongoing disruptions for international travelers using the Chattogram route.
