Procurement of modern runway sweeper for Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport

The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) has initiated the procurement of a modern runway sweeper at a cost of 9.34 crore BDT to address ongoing safety risks at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. Previous investigative reports highlighted that all existing runway sweepers were inoperative, resulting in dangerous accumulations of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on the runway, which poses a significant threat of damage to aircraft engines and potential accidents.
