## Description

A beach, not a freight ramp: while runways elsewhere in Bangladesh move garments, Cox's Bazar (CXB/VGCB) sits on the world's longest natural sea beach and lives off tourism. Domestic services by Biman, US-Bangla and Novoair link the resort town with Dhaka and Chattogram. An extension of the runway out into the Bay of Bengal is meant to welcome wide-body jets and international routes — but for holidaymakers, not for cargo. Any air freight from the region clears through Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC). For forwarders, CXB carries no cargo relevance.
