A large fire at the Cargo Village at Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal international Airport has disrupted flight operations, causing delays and diversions. The airport authority says that eight flights have been diverted from the Dhaka airport to Chattogram’s Shah Amanat International Airport. Among them is a US-Bangla Airlines flight from Bangkok to Dhaka, and two Air Arabia flights from Sharjah to Dhaka. A Batik Air flight from Dhaka to Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur (OD-163) and a Dhaka to Mumbai IndiGo flight (6E-1116) are waiting in the flight taxiway. All flight operations at the Dhaka airport are temporarily suspended.
