Thick fog halted the flight operations at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (HSIA) for six hours on Monday.
Flights have been resumed around 9:44am after a six-hour disruption caused by thick fog.
HSIA Deputy Director Beni Madhab Biswas confirmed it to the journalists.
The Deputy Director said, “flights on domestic routes remained suspended since 3:30am for six hours for the foggy weather.”
Besides, three international flights were delayed while a flight of Biman Bangladesh Airlines was diverted to Kolkata instead of Chattogram Shah Amanat International Airport for the same reason.
Khairul Kabir, Assistant Manager of Shah Amanat International Airport said,” A flight of Biman flew from Muscat of Oman failed to land its station on Shah Amanat and diverted to Kolkata.”
Thick fog often disrupts operations at the country’s airports during winter.
