Flight operations suspended for 7 hours

A pre-teen has been making news for boarding a Kuwait-bound flight from the Dhaka airport without any documentation.

Bangladesh should make proper investment and adopt an open sky policy to build a sophisticated airport in Dhaka and turn it into a regional aviation hub, said Ahmed Hashim Khoori, senior vice president of Emirates for West Asia and Indian Ocean.

Many international flights were delayed for several hours this evening (September 22, 2022) at the Hazrat Shahjalal Internaitonal Airport apparently due to a technical glitch in the servers of the immigration system.
