Shah Amanat International Airport (IATA: CGP, ICAO: VGEG) is the second-largest airport in Bangladesh, serving the port city of Chattogram.

Located in Patenga, about 20 km from Chattogram city center, the airport was originally built in 1940 by the British government during World War II and used as a combat airfield during the Burma Campaign. It later became a domestic airport and was upgraded to international status in 1990. Major expansion and modernization, funded by the Japanese government, were completed in 2000, giving the airport a modern terminal and improved facilities. In 2005, it was renamed after the revered Islamic saint Hazrat Shah Amanat. Today, the airport is operated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh and serves as a hub for Biman Bangladesh Airlines, with Air Astra, Novoair, and US-Bangla Airlines also using it as a focus city. Its single 9,646-foot concrete/asphalt runway accommodates both domestic and international flights, connecting Chattogram to destinations across South Asia and the Middle East. Shah Amanat International Airport plays a vital role in Bangladesh’s aviation network, especially for trade and travel in the southeastern region.
