Take steps to ensure smooth take-off of the third terminal..

Amid persistent economic struggles as well as efforts to remove barriers deterring businesses from investing and expanding in the country, there is no alternative to ensuring a smooth take-off of the much-anticipated third terminal of the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka. Built at a cost of over Tk 21,300 crore, the terminal is being touted as a milestone for Bangladesh's aviation sector, with the planning adviser recently underscoring its potential to make the airport a regional hub. For this promise to materialise, we must ensure the project doesn't falter on operational readiness, particularly with regard to customs and cargo handling.
