An Overview of Aviation Industry in
Bangladesh

The aircraft industry is the industry supporting aviation by building aircraft and
manufacturing aircraft parts for their maintenance. This includes aircraft and parts used for civil
aviation and military aviation. Most production is done pursuant to type certificates and Defense
Standards issued by a government body. This term has been largely subsumed by the more
encompassing term: "aerospace industry".

Modern aviation in Bangladesh began when the British Raj built a military airstrip in Tejgaon
during World War II to fly warplanes towards the battle fields of Kohima and war theaters in
Burma. Other airstrips were built in Comilla, Feni, Chittagong, Cox'sBazar, Chakaria, Sylhet,
Jessore, Rajshahi and Lalmonirhat.

Market Overview:

There are currently five major companies in the aviation industry: Biman Bangladesh, United
Airways, Regent Airways, Novo Air, and US-Bangla Airlines.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines, established in 1972, had a good number of domestic flights during
its inception, but now mainly focuses on international flights with over 18 international
destinations spread out throughout Asia and Europe while private sector players like United and
Regent Airways both have been strongly focusing on domestic travel. But things have changed
as now they have an increasing interest in international flights as well. Both of these airlines
travel to destinations such as Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Kolkata and Singapore. More
interestingly, Novo Air and US-Bangla Airways – two private sector players focus completely on
the domestic arena i.e., they fly regularly to the usual destinations such as Chittagong, Cox’s
Bazaar, Sylhet, and Jessore.

Demand for Domestic Flight:

According to the Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh (CAAB), the combined annual market
size of 2014 was worth USD 440 million, with 5.8 million passengers and 2.3 lakh tons of cargo.
As we can observe, there is a positive correlation of the passenger growth rate with the GDP
growth rate. This is because of three broad reasons:

 A higher GDP equates to higher purchasing power, which incentivizes many to choose
air travel within the country as an alternative to trains and buses.
 Given that the business environment is growing quite rapidly, saving time is quite crucial.
Airplanes save at least 70% of a business executive’s travel time.
 A higher GDP often means higher FDI. Foreign nationals tend to choose air travel over
other means of transport.
 Not only the flourishing economy, there is a myriad of other reasons behind this growth.
For example, political stability has a direct impact on demand. The growth rate in 2012
was greater than that of 2013, possibly because 2012 was a much more politically
turbulent year. 2015 is also expected to observe a sharp increase in domestic flights due
to the regularity of strikes and blockades.

 Another factor is the increase in government spending in mega projects such as Padma
Bridge, Rooppur nuclear power plant and Rampal power plant. Diversifying
 infrastructural development beyond the capital city requires more inter-city travel, where
airline seems like the best option. Currently, the highest traffic is in the Dhaka-
Chittagong route, followed by the Dhaka-Jessore route.

 Domestic aviation market is expanding every year. Epic Air, a new entrant, plans on
commencing operations this year. Biman Bangladesh plans on re-introducing its domestic
flights this year and has acquired Dash-8 Q400s on a dry lease contract from Egypt. This
shows that the market potential is most definitely increasing, despite international flights
being more profitable.

International Flights:

Other than Bangladesh Biman, private sector companies such as Regent and United Airways
have already operating in international routes and Novo air is about to follow suit. This is
primarily because of the much greater earning potential. For example, the shift made by
Regent Airways led to a 35% drop in domestic customers, but a four-fold increase in the total
number of passengers.

Furthermore, there are an increasing number of emigrants leaving to work abroad (mainly in
the UK and the Gulf). Lastly, given that customers directly respond to price, the cheaper fare
offered by local companies on international flights is a clear selling point. So far, there is no
threat from foreign companies in the domestic market. However, given that there is an
increasing demand for domestic flights, there is a possibility of the intrusion of foreign
airlines.

Location and Access

The airport is located in Kurmitola and was originally 11 NM (20 km; 13 mi) north of the capital
Dhaka. It can be accessed by the eight-lane Airport Road. To the north of the airport
lies Uttara and Gazipur, while Dhaka city lies to its south. There is a railway station immediately
opposite to the airport named Airport Railway Station. The nearest hotel near the airport is
the Le Meridien Hotel, Dhaka Regency Hotel. A Best Western hotel opened in late 2014. ]Due to
the expansion of the city, the airport has been engulfed by the city, prompting the government to
consider relocating it else ware.’

History

In 1941, during the Second World War, the British government built a landing strip at Kurmitola,
several kilometres north of Tejgaon, as an extra landing strip for the Tejgaon Airport, which at
the time was a military airport, to operate warplanes towards the war fields of Kohima (Assam)
and Burmese war theatres.
After the creation of Pakistan in 1947, Tejgaon Airport became the first civil airport in what was
then East Pakistan, current day Bangladesh. In 1966 that a project was taken by the then Pakistan
Government to construct a new airport at present site north of Kurmitola was selected and tender
floated for construction of terminal building and runway under technical support of French
experts. For transportation of construction materials a rail station (present airport railway station)
was built near the site. However, the new airstrip was halfway done when the Bangladesh
Liberation War broke out in 1971. During war, the airstrip suffered severe damage.
After independence, the government of Bangladesh restarted works abandoned by the previous
contractors and consultants during the war. It decided to make the airport the country's principal
international airport and appointed Aéroports de Paris of France as its new consultants. The
airport began operations in 1980 after the main runway and central portion of the present
terminal building was formally opened by then-President Ziaur Rahman as Dacca International
Airport ("Dacca" is the former spelling of "Dhaka").The project took a further three years to
complete, during which time Ziaur Rahman was assassinated (in 1981), so, after its completion
in 1983, then-President Abdus Sattar re-inaugurated the airport as Zia International Airport.
In 2010, the government changed the airport's name once again, from Zia International Airport to
Shahjalal International Airport, to honour Shah Jalal, one of Bangladesh's most
respected Sufi saints.
On 6 December 2011, ZA006, a Boeing 787 stopped for fuel at Shahjalal International Airport
during a distance, speed, and endurance record attempt. This aircraft, powered by General
Electric GEnx engines, had flown 10,710 nautical miles (19,830 km) non-stop from Boeing
Field in Seattle, Washington eastward to Shahjalal International Airport, setting a new world
distance record for aircraft in the 787's weight class, which is between 440,000 pounds
(200,000 kg) and 550,000 pounds (250,000 kg). This flight surpassed the previous distance
record of 9,127 nautical miles (16,903 km), set in 2002 by an Airbus A330. The aircraft then
continued eastbound from Dhaka to return to Boeing Field, setting a world-circling speed record
of 42 hours, 27minutes.

Development and expansion

In 1992, the airport terminal area experienced rapid expansion with addition of boarding bridges
and equipment. A multistorey car park with space for 500 cars was also built at this time.The
airport has been set up and upgraded with technology and instruments worth BDT 70 million up
to the 2nd quarter of 2012, by the CAAB. They include: instrument landing system, distance
measuring equipment and flight calibration system, which will help the operational standards of
the airport. 2 more boarding bridges have been operational, and another is under
manufacturing. Asphalt runway overlay began in December 2012 by the Bangladeshi
company Abdul Monem Ltd; it took 6 months to complete. Further improvements in
the taxiway and runway lighting system will be made by funds from Danish International
Development Agency (DANIDA) worth BDT 4.5 billion. Further projects include: primary and
secondary radar, a new control tower and a modern drainage system. Parking facilities are being
upgraded, both for passenger and cargo aircraft, of the airport extension works of passenger and
cargo aprons are also going on.The project will cost BDT 440 million and will provide facility to
park four wide-bodied passenger aircraft and two wide-bodied cargo aircraft side by side. In
recent years CAAB has completed modernisation and beautification of two terminal buildings;
constructed five aircraft parking bays; Installed two more boarding bridges; re-installed power
plant to ensure 24 hours power supply; added more passenger check-in and immigration counters
and baggage conveyor belts.

Second runway

A feasibility study is underway to decide about adding a parallel, second runway at a cost of
BDT 10 billion by 2014. The project has been taken to cope with the rising air traffic, and take
pressure off the lone runway, to double the capacity of the airport. CAAB predicts that the
airport's traffic will surpass 10 million passengers and freight. Currently, the airport can handle
10 flights an hour, 1 per 6 minutes. However, 60% of the airport's 2000 acre land unutilise.

Terminal
The airport consists of three major terminals, T1 and T2 for international flights and a third
terminal (known as Domestic Terminal) for domestic flights. In T1 and T2, the ground floor is
used as the arrivals hall and the upper floor serves as the departures hall. Both the arrivals hall
and the departures hall are on the same floor in the one-storey domestic terminal. A VIP terminal
is built only about 200 meters from the main gate and is only used occasionally. A third
international terminal is planned for construction.

Shah Amanat International Airport

Shah Amanat International Airport (IATA: CGP, ICAO: VGEG) is an international

airport serving Bangladesh's southeastern port city of Chittagong. Operated and maintained by
the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh, it is the second-largest international airport in
Bangladesh. After Dhaka International Airport Hazrat Shahjalal Airport of Bangladesh. It is also
used by the Bangladesh Air Force as a part of BAF Zahurul Haq Base. It was formerly known as
MA Hannan International Airport, named after Awami League politician M. A. Hannan, but was
renamed on 2 April 2005 by the Government of Bangladesh, after an Islamic saint, Hazrat Shah
Amanat.

The airport is capable of annually handling 1.5 million passengers and 6,000 tonnes of
cargo. The airport is served by nine passenger airlines which connect the airport internationally
with a few Middle Eastern cities, Bangkok, Kolkata and Kuala Lumpur, along with domestic
flights to Dhaka. Emirates SkyCargo and Etihad Cargo offer freighter flights to Dubai, Abu
Dhabi, Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

Location
The airport is located in the Patenga area of the city, 20 kilometres (13 mi; 11 NM) west from the
city's main commercial hub, GEC Circle and 18.5 km south of the city's railway station on the
north bank of the Karnaphuli River. There are no hotels or restaurants near the airport, however
numerous hotels and restaurants are available in the city.

Infrastructure and Operation

Terminal
The airport's sole 220,000 square feet (20,000 m2) passenger terminal is divided into two parts:
International and Domestic with a boarding bridge in each. The International part of the terminal
is larger than the Domestic one due to higher number of passengers. The building is also divided
into two floors: The lower floor is used for checking in, boarding or getting off small planes and
receiving luggage while the upper floor is used for boarding or getting off large planes only.
The airport also has a 29,063 square feet (2,700 m2) cargo terminal.

Control Tower
The airport's air traffic control tower is 50 meters west of the airport terminal. It has a clear view
of the tarmac and taxiways but is far from the runway. Heavy rain or fog can make it difficult for
controllers to see planes taking off or landing.
Runway
The airport has a single runway (05/23), which is 2,940 m × 45 m (9,646 ft × 148 ft The largest
aircraft that can land in the airport is a Boeing 747-400.

Taxiways and tarmac

The airport has two taxiways, Alpha and Bravo, that directly leads to the tarmac, or aircraft
parking zone, from the runway. The tarmac can accommodate a maximum of four aircraft;
two wide-body Boeing 747-400s, a wide-body McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and a narrow-
body Airbus A320 can be parked there at once.The airport has two boarding bridges and two
passenger steps. The parking points are usually empty as most of the planes that arrive there
takeoff soon after and the planes of local airlines are generally parked at Shahjalal International
Airport overnight. A small civil plane hangar belonging to Biman is available but is rarely used.
The Bangladesh Military has a parking zone and two plane hangars east of the runway.
The Bangladesh Air Force store a few planes here which have direct access to the runway.

Osmani International Airport

Osmani International Airport (IATA: ZYL, ICAO: VGSY) is third largest international airport in
Bangladesh after Dhaka and Chittagong. The airport is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority,
Bangladesh (CAAB) and is served by Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the national airline, which at
one point earned most of its revenue from this airport. Private airlines Novoair, United
Airways and US-Bangla Airlines operate domestic flights to Dhaka. The vast majority of
passengers using the airport are expatriate Bangladeshis and their descendants from the Sylhet
Division living in the United Kingdom.

Summary
Elevation: AMSL 50ft/15m
Coordinates: 24°57′48″N 91°52′01″E
History
Osmani International Airport was built during British rule of the Indian Subcontinent, partly to
check Japanese aggression from Burma. The airport was formerly known as Sylhet Civil Airport
but was renamed after General M A G Osmani, a Sylheti Bangladeshi Independence War hero.

The airport was initially served by domestic flights from Shahjalal International Airport by the
country's national airline Biman Bangladesh Airlines. After many years of lobbying by
expatriates living in the UK, limited expansion of the airport was carried out to enable medium-
sized aircraft, such as the Airbus A310 used by Biman, to operate. The work was completed in
October 2002 and the airport was designated an international airport by the government.
However, the airport was not up to international standards to be capable of fully accommodating
international flights due to many shortcomings with the instrument landing system and runway
lighting system, and the designation was seen as a move to stave off pressure by the government.
Nevertheless, on 3 November 2002, the airport received its first international arrival. Biman
flight BG020 from Kuwait via Abu Dhabi landed at 10:05 with 215 passengers en route
to Dhaka. The disembarking passengers on the inaugural flight were greeted by then Finance &
Planning Minister, M Saifur Rahman and State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism, Mir
Mohammad Nasiruddin. For a brief period, Biman also operated a direct service
from London but was later re-routed via Dhaka. Additional expansion of the runway and
improvements to the runway lighting and airport

Facilities were commenced in 2004 to enable wide-bodied aircraft to safely land and takeoff
from the airport.

In 2010 the decision was made to construct a refueling station. Construction work began in
January 2012. In January 2014 the Project Director Aminul Haq stated that the project was 70%
complete.

On 1 April 2015, Flydubai resumed foreign airline service to Sylhet with its flight from Dubai–
International. The service was operated through a codeshare agreement with Bangladeshi
airline Regent Airways. However, because Biman Bangladesh Airlines had refused to
provide ground handling services, the route was cancelled the next day. Stranded passengers held
a demonstration in response on 6 April, 2015. On November 2016, Flydubai decided to start its
