Tangail Airport is an airstrip in Tangail, in central Bangladesh. The airport was built in 1967 to serve Tangail District and other nearby districts, mainly for agricultural purposes. Several cargo airbuses were used in the 1970s to spread pesticides in the local paddy fields. The airport has remained unmaintained since 1976 due to the local administration's negligence.{{Citation needed|date=October 2021}} The airport has been used for Bangladesh Air Force training.{{Cite web|url=http://offroadbangladesh.com/places/tangail-airport/|title = | Tangail Airport}}
