This is a list of airports in Bangladesh, grouped by type and sorted by location. All airports are operated and maintained by the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh under the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism. Some of the airfields are used for military and training purposes by the Bangladesh Armed Forces.
Bangladesh has five domestic airports, three international airports (which are also used for domestic flights) and four STOL (short take-off and landing) ports, with one new domestic airport under construction.[1][2] It also has several airstrips, some built during World War II.
