A devastating fire at Bangladesh's main airport's logistics section on Saturday could cost businesses over $1 billion in damages, threatening the country's vital garment export industry. The blaze destroyed clothes and raw materials, with several businesses potentially losing future opportunities due to the loss of critical samples.

• Estimated damages exceed $1 billion (£750 million), according to business leaders and the International Air Express Association of Bangladesh.
• The fire occurred at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, a busy logistics hub, particularly during the pre-Christmas period.
• This incident is the third major fire in Bangladesh within a week, with others including a deadly warehouse fire and a clothing factory blaze, leading to speculation of sabotage.
