CAAB selected Chinese consortium CRCC Harbour-CCECC JV for the 1,700 feet-long runway extension project on the sea, worth Tk1,998 crore, on May 17 this year. CCECC is the lowest bidder of the two companies in the re-tender process, the other company being Sinohydro, according to CAAB insiders. They also expressed concerns of bias from CAAB towards the Chinese company for its reselection despite committing fraud. “The re-tender process has been completed in compliance to the PPA,” said Air Vice-Marshal M Mafidur Rahman, Chairman, CAAB. On May 17, 2020, CAAB selected the Chinese consortium CRCC Harbour-CCECC JV after reportedly scrutinizing their technical and financial proposals for the tender.
