The third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) is not going to operation soon. After completing 97 percent of the work in four and a half years. Uncertainty has been created due to the non-signing of the public-private partnership (PPP) agreement on operating costs.
The three-storey terminal of 2,30,000 square meters was built at the airport to handle the pressure of air passengers and ensure international standard services. There are 54 counters including baggage handling system, arrival lounge, duty free shop, boarding bridge.
In addition, there are separate lounges for transit passengers, 3,650 square meters area for VIPs, 128 immigration counters for departure and arrival. The cost of the third terminal project is Tk 21,398 crore.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina partially inaugurated the third terminal in October, 2024. It was then said that the terminal would be fully operational after completing all the works within a year. However, the authorities are uncertain about the full launch even though all the work was completed in October this year.
