Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) is the main international gateway to southeastern Bangladesh, located approximately 20 km south of Chattogram (formerly Chittagong) city center, in the Patenga area. As the second-busiest airport in Bangladesh after Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, it serves both domestic and international flights, connecting the Chattogram region to major destinations in the Middle East and Asia.

The airport has a single passenger terminal handling both arrivals and departures. Facilities include check-in counters, immigration and customs services, baggage claim areas, and security screening. Travelers can access duty-free shops, retail outlets, and basic dining options offering snacks and local cuisine.

Additional amenities include free Wi-Fi in designated areas, prayer rooms, ATMs, currency exchange counters, VIP lounges, and car parking facilities. Ongoing upgrades aim to improve passenger capacity and overall service efficiency.

Airlines operating at CGP include Biman Bangladesh Airlines, US-Bangla Airlines, Novoair, Air Arabia, Flydubai, SalamAir, and Jazeera Airways. Destinations include domestic routes such as Dhaka and Cox’s Bazar, as well as international services to Dubai, Sharjah, Muscat, Doha, Jeddah, and other key Middle Eastern cities that serve Bangladesh’s large expatriate workforce.

Transportation

Passengers can travel between the airport and Chattogram city center by taxi, ride-hailing services, and private car. Local auto-rickshaws (CNGs) are also available outside the terminal area. Public bus services operate along Airport Road connecting Patenga with central Chattogram, though taxis and app-based rides are generally more convenient for international travelers.

Car rental services and hotel-arranged transfers are commonly used for added comfort and reliability.

Shah Amanat International Airport continues to expand and modernize its facilities to accommodate growing passenger traffic, particularly international routes to the Middle East. It remains a vital hub for trade, tourism, and labor travel in southeastern Bangladesh.
