Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) is the government body regulating all aviation related activities within Bangladesh including flight safety and air traffic control. It is also responsible for the construction and maintenance of all airports and facilities. The CAAB has its headquarters in Kurmitola, Dhaka.

[edit] History

The FAA has placed the CAAB into Category 2 according to its International Aviation Safety Assessment Program. This categorisation of the country's CAA places additional restrictions on the country's airlines when flying to the US. A former CAAB assistant director made scathing remarks against the CAAB in an opinion article in the Aviatour.
