Shah Amanat International Airport, Chattogram (IATA: CGP, ICAO: VGEG) (Bengali: শাহ আমানত আন্তর্জাতিক বিমানবন্দর, চট্টগ্রাম, Shah Amanôt Antôrjatik Bimanbôndôr ćhottoģŕàm ) is an international airport serving Bangladesh's southeastern port city of Chattogram.

[citation needed] Known as Chittagong Airfield during World War II, it was used as a supply point by the United States Army Air Forces' 4th Combat Cargo Group.

From the airport, they flew C-46 Commando aircraft to transport men and supplies between January and June 1945, during the Burma Campaign 1944-1945.

[11] CAAB received financial assistance from the Japan International Cooperation Agency for the US$51.57 million upgrade.

[11] The upgrade modernised the terminal with new and better seats, more check-in counters, better security equipment and other facilities.

[11] In June 2005, CAAB announced that the management of the airport would be awarded to Thai Airways, the national carrier of Thailand, for 10 years.

[13] The airport's sole, 220,000 square feet (20,000 m2) passenger terminal is divided into two parts: International and Domestic with a boarding bridge in each.

[11] The International part of the terminal is larger than the Domestic one due to higher number of passengers.

[11] The airport has two taxiways, Alpha and Bravo, that directly leads to the tarmac (or aircraft parking zone) from the runway.

[citation needed] Shah Amanat International Airport can be easily accessed by car or taxi thorough the city's Agrabad and GEC area.
