This airport will open a new horizon of economic development and industrialization in the south-western region and also boost tourism. In this connection, Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (ECNEC) approved the Khan Jahan Ali Air Port construction project. The airport will be built on 536 acres of land and Foyla under Rampal upazila of Bagerhat beside the Khulna-Mongla highway. |
