## Description

Where road and air play second fiddle to water: Barisal Airport (BZL/VGBR) serves a delta city famed for the canal traffic that earns it the nickname "Venice of Bengal". Operations are limited to domestic flights to Dhaka with Biman Bangladesh, US-Bangla and Novoair. The airport handles no meaningful cargo — regional export freight is trucked to Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC) in Dhaka, roughly 170 kilometres north. Bulk goods, meanwhile, still move most cheaply on the region's dense network of inland waterways. For forwarders, BZL is a passenger field rather than a freight option.
