Buyers shift to Delhi airport as higher expenses make Dhaka unattractive

International buyers are increasingly preferring to use Delhi’s airport over Dhaka’s Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport for air shipments of Bangladeshi goods, especially garments, due to significantly lower tariffs and charges at the Indian airport. The higher expenses at Dhaka airport make it uncompetitive, leading buyers to transport goods by road from Bangladesh to Delhi despite the longer distance, costing exporters and airlines business.
