Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport Expansion, Dhaka

The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) is expanding the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in order to address the continued increase in domestic and international passengers and cargo passing through the facility.

The airport is anticipated to witness passenger traffic of approximately 12 million by August 2022 and up to 22 million by 2035.

Construction of a third passenger terminal building and other infrastructure will commence in April 2018, with completion scheduled for August 2022.

The project is being executed by CAAB and the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism.

The expansion is set to more than double the airport’s annual passenger handling capacity from the current eight million to approximately 20 million, and the cargo capacity from 200,000t to 500,000t.

It is also expected to improve air transportation, as well as economic and social development in Bangladesh.

Details of Hazrat Shahjalal airport expansion
The expansion will include the construction of the third passenger terminal building known as Terminal 3, as well as a 5,900m² VVIP complex, 41,200m² cargo building and multi-level car parking building with tunnel.

The new international passenger terminal building is set to have a floor area of roughly 226,000m².

Additionally, the project will see the construction of several exit and connecting taxiways, a parking apron in Terminal 3, new roads to connect the terminal with the airport road and a drainage system.

Various water treatment, power supply, rescue and fire-fighting facilities will also be built as part of the development.

A feasibility study is currently underway for the construction of a second runway parallel to the main runway.

Construction and financing for the Hazrat Shahjalal airport expansion
A feasibility study for the Hazrat Shahjalal airport expansion project was conducted during 2014 and 2015.

The project was approved by the Government of People’s Republic of Bangladesh in May 2015. The total cost of the expansion is estimated to be JPY192bn ($1.76bn).

The Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh signed an agreement with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in June 2017 to provide an Official Development Assistance (ODA) loan of up to JPY76.83bn ($689m) for the expansion.

Contractors involved with the airport expansion
CAAB awarded a five-year contract worth JPY4.6bn ($42.1m) to a consortium led by Japanese engineering and consulting company Nippon Koei for the project in August 2017.

“Construction of a third passenger terminal building and other infrastructure will commence in April 2018, with completion scheduled for August 2022.”

The consortium comprises Singapore-based CPG Consultants, Bangladesh-based Development Design Consultants, and Japanese engineering consulting firm Oriental Consultant Global.

Yooshin Engineering, CPG Corporation, and Development Design Consultants took part in the feasibility study of the project.

Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport history and existing facilities
Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport began operations in 1980 and is situated on an 802ha site in Kurmitola, north of the capital Dhaka.

The airport has one domestic terminal and two international terminals with a maximum capacity of eight million passengers a year.

The existing terminals will not able to accommodate the growing number of passengers due to capacity constraints.

In addition, Hazrat Shahjalal International’s existing cargo facility is facing flaws regarding its safety and security systems, and is also regarded as insufficient to accommodate the growing cargo volumes.

The site’s 3,200m-long main runway was upgraded to asphalt surface in 2013.

The airport also features a multi-storey car parking area and a VIP terminal.

14 storied (11,520 sq m) head office building for Akij Group with 3 underground levels for parking

Legacy of half a century and a tale of success with constructive paradigms instigated Akij Group to relocate from the Old Akij chamber at Dilkusha to the magnificent Akij House at Tejgaon, designed by one of the most reputed architectural firms of Bangladesh. The bold presence of the building in the city's sky-line is a tribute to Dhaka as well, keeping the building oriented both towards the city frontiers as well as the bordering Hatirjheel escapade.

4-in-1 ride-sharing app Obhai launched for Dhaka residents

Obhai, a ride-sharing app combining services of car, motorbike, microbus and CNG-autorickshaw, has been launched for the city dwellers in Dhaka.
With a slogan "no more waits – ride in minutes", Obhai developer says a rider can pick one of the four services from the app by specifying the destination.

This is for the first time the CNG auto-rickshaws and microbus have been added to the ride-sharing services.

"Obhai’s mission is to offer safe, reliable, and convenient transportation to everyone all across Bangladesh," according to Obhai Solutions Limited, a subsidiary of MGH Group.

"Our deep-rooted, global passenger, and cargo transportation experiences, and above all, being an inhabitant of Dhaka, inspired us to find an affordable and reliable transportation solution which can help our passengers to achieve more in their precious lives," the app developer MGH Group said in a press release.

It also offers a 24-hour call centre (09610056789) to assist customers in booking rides or helps anyone having trouble using the app.

It claims Obhai would reduce the waiting time for the riders as they would have alternative vehicle options in one app.

"All of the vehicles and drivers have been carefully recruited by using the most comprehensive background checks as well as rigorous in-person interviews to ensure utmost security, and safe driving experiences for the passenger in every ride.

"Obhai also facilitates prescheduled rides for those who are comfortable in securing their rides way ahead of time," the press release added.

The app is available on Google Play and in iOS App Stores.

Obhai will be launched in 22 towns over the next three to four months with continuous growth in vehicles availability to ensure the shortest waiting time for the commuters.
