The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) will review the Japanese consortium’s proposed terms for operating the third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport at a board meeting on Tuesday (November 10).

CAAB Member (Administration) SM Lablur Rahman said the authority was working to launch the terminal partially on December 16, Victory Day.

The proposed agreement has drawn criticism over government concessions, revenue sharing and concerns about national interests and Biman Bangladesh Airlines.

Meanwhile, Biman has applied to CAAB to extend its ground handling licence to cover the third terminal, seeking permission to provide services there.

The Japanese consortium has also proposed four foreign companies for ground handling services: Switzerland’s Swissport, Türkiye’s Celebi Aviation Holding, UAE-based dnata and UK-based Menzies Aviation.
