Dhaka airport flight operations resume

Flight operations at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport resumed on Thursday morning after seven hours of suspension after the fog lifted, reports UNB.

Flight operations resumed around 9:51am, Beni Madhab Biswas, deputy director of Dhaka airport, told the news agency. A US-Bangla flight bound for China’s Guangzhou took off at that time.

Earlier, flight operations at Dhaka airport remained suspended since 3:00am due to dense fog.

The airport authorities were forced to divert two flights including one bound for Chattogram’s Shah Amanat International Airport.

Thick fog often disrupts operations at the country’s airports during winter.
