Cox’s Bazar Airport is a domestic airport in the resort town of Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh. The Airport was built by the then British government during the Second World War for war use. After the end of the war it fell into disuse and was abandoned for a long time. In 1956, the Government of Pakistan renovated it and opened it for commercial use. At that time, PIA started operating flights to Cox’s Bazar for a few days, but these flights were stopped soon after, thus two PIA flights started and stopped again. This airport was damaged in the war of independence in 1971 and Bangladesh Biman flights started from 1972 after renovating it.
Cox’s Bazaar Airport has a number of airlines operating from its premises, including Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the national carrier of Bangladesh, as well other local airlines such Novoair, US-Bangla Airlines and Air Astra.
