Bangladesh is currently experiencing severe flooding that has hit key infrastructure, including roads, railways, and bridges, particularly in the Feni region along the Dhaka-Chittagong highway.
A 65-kilometre-long traffic jam has developed on the highway, disrupting the flow of goods and services.
The country was already facing significant challenges in its logistics sector caused by ongoing port congestion at major transshipment hubs as well as political unrest.
The impact of the flooding extends to air freight operations as well. Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka is experiencing disruptions due to the adverse weather conditions. Flooding and heavy rainfall have delayed cargo handling, compounded by limited airport access and workforce shortages. As a result, import and export processing has slowed significantly, raising the risk of shipment delays and increased costs for expedited services.
