The Kazi Nazrul Islam Airport (RDP) is started from 18 May 2015. A favourable report by AAI on the calibration is now what Bengal Aerotropolis Projects Ltd (BAPL) — the developer of the airport — is now waiting for. It will enable the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to give its final go-ahead for operation of commercial flights.
"A function commemorating the completion of the calibration is slated at the airport on March 16. A large delegation of Changi Airports International will be present on the occasion," said BAPL managing director Partha Ghosh.
The first team of IMD had reached the airport on March 9. "They will provide updates on weather facilities and services for air navigation," a source said. AAI engineers wing has already set up all requisite navigational aids and associated instruments like Distance Measuring Equipment and Instrument Landing system.

As well as Camp Moire, the Squadron operated from Chakulia (20-25 May 43) and moved to Kurmitola, Bangladesh, 25 May 1943.
