    Very small international airport. It's clean and less crowded. The immigration takes 2 minutes. Duty free shops are mostly empty. Only one private lounge which is called UCB imperial lounge. If if have a card of UCB Bank then the access is free otherwise it is accessible with a charge of 750 BDT. Two snacks corner are there who are selling food with very reasonable (really hard to find in any international airport) price. Bring your own powerbank. In case flight is delayed which is happening often, there is no charging point after immigration.

    Second largest international airport in Bangladesh. Although not big enough but still crowdy. All local and some International flights operated form here. Terminal is not big and untidy. Need to be more clean and discipline. Security systems are average. Although government is trying to improve and upgrade it. All the best.

    The airport has seen many advances in infrastructure over the last couple of years. It is currently serving both domestic and international flights. The check-in counters are now modernized. There are many lounge options to choose from as well, which is great. Hopefully within a year it will be improved even more.

    Its an International airport, most flight towards middle east operating from here. Nice, clean and calm airport in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Those who have UCB credit card, can have a Lounge for refreshing. Very limited service for currency exchange and rental cars.

    The biggest airport in Bangladesh. The 3rd terminal, which is being constructed, will extend its capacity, service quality as well as fame and image internationally. So far, the "International Arrival" Terminal is too small to maintain passengers and foreigners conveniently, though the concerned staff and security force try to manage and control this awful situation. We are hopeful that all problems will come down soon.

    This Airport is my home town & reason for that this place is one of my favourite place in Chittagong. I visited this place many times & I liked this place so much. I am a Local Guide of Google Maps since long times. So as a Local Guide of Google Maps I reviewed my favourite this Airport.

    Chittagong Airport, with its historic journey, serves as a significant air travel hub, connecting domestic cities and international destinations. The airport is particularly popular among passengers utilizing low-fare carriers based in the Middle East. However, my experience at Chittagong Airport was not entirely satisfactory. The baggage handling system was slow, leading to long wait times for luggage retrieval. Moreover, the behavior of airport staff involved in baggage and immigration procedures was rude and unprofessional, leaving a negative impression. The airport's limited infrastructure, including only two luggage belts and uncomfortable queuing lines outside the main terminal, added to the inconvenience. Additionally, the absence of access to the waiting lounge for visitors accompanying passengers was disappointing. Furthermore, the food shops inside and outside the terminal offered limited, overpriced, and unhealthy options, failing to meet international standards. The washroom facilities and air-conditioning were also not up to par. One of the most frustrating aspects was the solicitation for bribes by some unprofessional and unethical staff members, tarnishing the overall experience. On a positive note, the airport entrance provides a beautiful ambiance due to its surrounding nature. However, better maintenance of greenery, trees, and flowers is necessary for a more aesthetically pleasing environment. Overall, Chittagong Airport has room for improvement in terms of service quality, cleanliness, and facilities to ensure a more pleasant and hassle-free experience for travelers.

    I am writing this post to express my deep appreciation and gratitude for the outstanding work done by your security department in recovering my lost luggage. I had just arrived at the airport for my flight and was devastated to find out that my luggage had disappeared. I was extremely worried, as my luggage contained some of my most valuable and personal belongings. However, your security department handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and care. They worked tirelessly to track down my lost luggage and within a few hours, they were able to locate and return it to me. I was thrilled and relieved to see all my belongings intact and undamaged. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the dedication and hard work of your security department. Their efficiency and effectiveness in handling this situation is truly commendable. I am so impressed by the way they handled this situation with urgency and care, and for that, I am forever grateful. Thank you once again for everything that you do to keep our airport safe and secure, and for going above and beyond to ensure that my lost luggage was recovered. Your work has left a lasting positive impact on me, and I will always be grateful for your help.

    It's standard. The parking is well arranged. No much hastle. Entry through the gate is simple check through metal detector. After getting the boarding pass the waiting area is well arranged. Clean washrooms, space for saying prayers and a coffee shop. UCBL lounge the only lounge in the airport. It's a good Air Port.

    I don't know about their internal service/behavior. But I can express what I experienced at waiting yard. The stuffs(security personnel) are corrupted as like they take tips/beneficials (💵🪙) for every relative entree just to be in waiting corridor with passenger. The passengers were Hajji. And authority should place seat for waiting corridor (outside of Immigration room). Btw the passengers couldn't face any hassle throughout the journey which is good 👍.

    Small International Airport, Lounge available. For International traveler shopping option also very less. One good thing is being a small Airport you can catch your International flight if reached within one hour of departure time. Same thing happened to me, I was about to miss my flight, departure time was 1110 hours reached airport at 1018 hours.

There are a lot of fast food shops inside. There are book corners for readers at the Domestic Departure Lounge. There are arrangements to offer prayers inside this domestic departure lounge.

    The airport is in the Patenga area of the city, 20 kilometres (13 mi; 11 NM) west from the city's main commercial hub, GEC Circle and 18.5 km south of the city's railway station on the north bank of the Karnaphuli River. There are a few hotels or restaurants near the airport; numerous hotels and restaurants are available in the city.[citation needed] History Infrastructure and operation Terminal  Departure area The airport's sole 220,000 square feet (20,000 m2) passenger terminal is divided into two parts: International and Domestic with a boarding bridge in each.[6] The International part of the terminal is larger than the Domestic one due to higher number of passengers.[6] The building is divided into two floors: The lower floor is used for checking in, boarding or getting off small planes, and receiving luggage. The upper floor is used for boarding or getting off large planes only.[6] The airport also has a 29,063 square feet (2,700 m2) cargo terminal.[6] A new Lounge has also been created for American express card holders. Control tower The air traffic control tower is 50 meters west of the airport terminal. It has a clear view of the tarmac and taxiways but is far from the runway. Heavy rain or fog can make it difficult for controllers to see planes taking off or landing. Runway The airport has a single runway (05/23), which is 2,940 m × 45 m (9,646 ft × 148 ft).[6] The largest aircraft that can land is a Boeing 747-400.[6] Taxiways and tarmac  Apron area The airport has two taxiways, Alpha and Bravo, that directly leads to the tarmac (or aircraft parking zone) from the runway. The tarmac can accommodate a maximum of four aircraft; two wide-body Boeing 747-400s, a wide-body McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and a narrow-body Airbus A320 can be parked there at once.[6] The airport has two boarding bridges and two passenger steps. The parking points are usually empty as most of the planes that arrive there take off soon after; the planes of local airlines are generally parked at Shahjalal International Airport overnight. A small civil plane hangar belonging to Biman is available but is rarely used. The Bangladesh Military has a parking zone and two plane hangars east of the runway. The Bangladesh Air Force store a few planes here which have direct access to the runway

    As a local Airport this is kinda okay but as international airport It's not that much big airport. Runway length is bit smaller. Location and environment is great. Facilities and security is good or above average. There is a prayer space on lobby. Recently they added a lounge operated by MTB.
