As Biman is set to take charge of ground handling for the third terminal at Dhaka airport for two years, stakeholders are raising concerns about its ability to manage such a large terminal.

Passengers will have to wait for a year and a half to use the third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport as the authorities are yet to figure out the modalities for running the state-of-the-art terminal.

Bangladesh has signed a $540 million loan agreement with Japan for the third terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, a cargo terminal, and associated facilities.
