This fire was the third major incident in Bangladesh in a week, following fires in textile factories earlier in the week. The situation is being monitored by the relevant services, including the army, navy, and air force, which have joined in the firefighting efforts. The plan of action for the coming days includes restoring the airport and investigating the cause of the fire, which has already caused concern among travelers and businesses involved in air transport.
