The third terminal of the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka is likely to be inaugurated in October 2023 as almost 44.15 per cent work of the terminal has been completed.
State Minister for Civil Aviation M Mahbub Ali gave the information after visiting the project site on Monday, reports UNB.
“It is expected that the third terminal of the Dhaka airport will be inaugurated next year in October and the construction work is going on in full swing beyond our expectations. Already 44.15 per cent of work has been done,” he said.
“Once the terminal opens, some 22 million people can be served through the three terminals of the airport in a year,” he said.
“Monitoring system has been strengthened at the airport to check any harassment issue and the luggage of the passengers will be delivered in a shorter time than before,” claimed the minister.
He also assured of recruiting additional manpower, if needed.
