Flights resumed at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chittagong on Thursday morning after a suspension of nearly 37 hours, officials said.
"Our operation resumed around 5am," Airport Manager Squadron Leader Rabiul Islam said.
He said the first flight from Dhaka landed at around 6am and three more flights landed and took off after that.
On Wednesday he said water had receded from the runway and taxiway and hoped flights operation would become normal from Thursday morning.
Flights were suspended around 4:30pm on Tuesday as the runway and taxiway were submerged in knee-deep water due to torrential rains.
Airport Manager Rabiul had said it took time for water to recede as the City Corporation's sewerage management was not good in the airport area.
