Shah Amanat International Airport

Shah Amanat International Airport (IATA: CGP) in Patenga serves Chattogram (Chittagong) and traces its origins to the 1940s, operating from a single main passenger terminal that handles both domestic and international flights. As Bangladesh’s second-largest gateway after Dhaka, CGP is a mid-sized airport crucial for the country’s major port city, linking regional routes and seasonal international services. It’s roughly 10–15 km from downtown Chattogram and easily reached by local buses, airport shuttles, taxis and app-based rides in about 20–40 minutes depending on traffic. Facilities are modest and generally affordable for travelers, and the airport acts as a regional base or focus city for carriers such as Biman Bangladesh and US-Bangla Airlines.
