Decision matrix for CGP
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
CGP uses Asia/Dhaka (BST, UTC+06:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Shah Amanat International Airport is about 10 km from central Chattogram (Chittagong); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
DAC Dhaka is the closest retained alternate at 229 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
The accepted airport reference came from en.wikipedia.org; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
