Around 60% of the work of Dhaka airport's third terminal has been completed, said State Minister for Civil Aviation and Tourism Md Mahbub Ali on Tuesday.
Currently the interior decoration and installation work of different types of machinery are going on and the third terminal will be opened in October, he said while talking to reporters after visiting the passenger services of the no 1 and 2 terminals of the airport and the construction work of the ongoing third terminal.
A number of development works including strengthening work of runways, modernization of the security system and construction of new terminal buildings are going on at all airports to ensure better passenger service and safe movement of flights, he said.
Besides, the Civil Aviation Ministry and the Civil Aviation Authority are regularly monitoring so that passengers are not harassed at the airports, he said.
Replying to a question, he said the take-off and landing of flights at Dhaka airport will remain suspended for five hours daily due to the ongoing development work of the Instrumental Landing System (ILS) of the runway and once it is upgraded from category 2 to category 1 the limitations of flight operation amid fog will be over.
