There are 3 other domestics airports in Bangladesh, which can be used any time with
pre-approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh if needed. These domestic
airports are Tejgaon Airport, Bogra Airport and Shamshernagar Airport. Due to some
reasons, these airports don’t operate regular flights.

country’s sole international airport prior to the construction of Shahjalal International

passenger flights serve the airport, but civil air operations are allowed with prior
approval.
The airport was dedicated on 12 March 2005. According to the Civil Aviation Authority
of Bangladesh, airlines do not serve Bogra because demand is too low for a route to be
commercially viable without smaller aircraft than those the airlines operate. The length
of the runway of Bogra Airport is only 2,990 feet or 911 meters which makes Bogra
Airport, the smallest domestic airport in Bangladesh.

Moulvibazar, Bangladesh. It is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh
(CAAB). Due to the short length of the runway, it is restricted to STOL aircraft. Civil air
operations are allowed with prior approval. The length of the runway of Bogra Airport is
5,200 feet or 1,585 meters.
Bangladesh Airports: OUT Of Service

at any time with some required renovation task. Some of them are out of service due to
lack of passengers on that particular route.
