At a time when intense debate is on in India over probable private participation in operation, maintenance, modernisation and construction of airports, the Bangladesh government is believed to have made headway in regard to its earlier decision to hand over the Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong to Thai Airways. Last December, the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) and the Thai Airways International signed an agreement in this regard. According to the agreement, Thai Airways will manage Chittagong Airport for 10 years and the job will involve operation, maintenance and management of the terminal building in addition to ramp handling, cargo handling, airport security and maintenance.

The airline will also be responsible for collecting fees for airport landing charges, security charges, embarkation fees as well as ground handling related fees on behalf of CAAB, in coordination with other airlines operating to and from the airport.
