People often say that an airport is the most important part of a city's or country's first impression. And the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka, which was built around 40 years ago and is often in the news for being poorly run, does not do justice to the capital city of Bangladesh in the 21st century.
But Terminal 3, which is still being built, will give HSIA a much-needed facelift. It will have 115 check-in counters, 64 departure, as many arrival immigration desks, 12 boarding bridges, a 5.42 lakh square meter apron for 37 aircraft, and more.
