The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (Caab) has decided not to grant permission to any new airlines to operate flights from Dhaka due to a shortage of space at the terminal and apron areas at the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA).
The High Court directed the authorities concerned to immediately take necessary steps to curb mosquito menace at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) area in Dhaka.
A high level investigation team of the Ministry of Civil Aviation found that the runway at Barishal airport has become risky for landing of planes as it is in dire need of repair works and may cause accidents anytime.
Hundreds of passengers had to endure what they said was mismanagement at the Dhaka airport over the last two days following the introduction of an eight-hour daily closure of the lone runway.
