AUTHORITIES at Shah Amanat International Airport in chattogram are taking steps to resume full-scale cargo operations to ensure uninterrupted export movement, reports Dhaka's Business Standard.
Airport officials aim to maximise the use of existing facilities and prepare for new export routes, including direct flights to China.
As part of this initiative, the airport's previously unused 270-tonne capacity cargo station is being made operational.
Airport officials said the move is aimed at maximising the use of existing facilities and preparing for new export routes, including direct cargo flights to China.
Discussions have already taken place between the Chattogram Airport director and China Eastern Airlines, with an official announcement expected soon.
The renewed focus comes in the wake of India's recent cancellation of transshipment facilities, which previously allowed goods to be routed through Indian territory.
Officials believe this development presents an opportunity for Bangladesh to build self-reliance in air freight.
