Flight Services Resume at Ctg, Cox’s Bazar, Barishal Airports

After nearly 21 hours, flight operations at Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, and Barishal airports resumed Tuesday noon (Oct 25, 2022).

The Civil Aviation Authority issued a notification to this regard on Tuesday, reports UNB.

Earlier, flight services to and from the airports were suspended at 3 pm on Monday due to cyclone Sitrang.

As a result, several flights of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, US Bangla, and NOVOAIR on domestic routes were cancelled.

Meanwhile, inland water transport operations resumed this morning after being suspended for around 24 hours due to inclement weather caused by cyclone Sitrang.

Bangladesh Inland Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) has ordered the resumption of vessel operations from 9.45 am as all the riverine ports now come under local cautionary signal number 1, said BIWTA public relations officer Mobarak Hossain.

Sitrang moved north-northeastwards very fast and now lies over Dhaka-Cumilla-Brahmanbaria and adjoining areas as a land depression, according to the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD).
