Khan Jahan Ali Airport is a planned airport in Bagerhat, Bangladesh. As it is very close to Khulna, the third largest in Bangladesh, it was planned to mainly serve the city. It is uncertain if the project will be completed as no work has been done since the beginning of the project in 1996. After the land acquisition and earth filling was done, work was stopped due to lack of funds.
