INTRODUCTION
The History of Aviation in Bangladesh began with kites, the traditional heavier-than-air
man-made object that is flown by one or more people while staying on the ground. The
first recorded manned flight was arranged by the Dhaka Nawab Family in 1882, which
resulted in the death of the flyer.
Jenny Rumary van Tassel accompanied her balloonist daughter Jeanette Van Tassel when
she died in an attempt at the first manned flight in Bangladesh in
1882
Jeanette Van Tassel, a young balloonist from the United States, was
hired by the then incumbent Nawab Khwaja Ahsanullah. She was a
member of a family troupe of professional balloonists and arrived
with her mother, Jenny Rumary Van Tassel. At 6.20pm on the 16th
March 1892, she set off to fly from the southern bank of the River
Buriganga to the roof of Ahsan Manzil, lying across the river. But
a gusting wind carried her off to the gardens of Shahbag, where her
balloon became stuck in a tree. She was killed in her fall to the
ground, and lies interned in the Christian graveyard at Narinda,
Dhaka.
WORLD WAR II
Modern aviation in Bangladesh began when the British Raj built a
military airstrip in Tejgaon during World War II to fly warplanes
towards the battle fields of Kohima and war theaters in Burma.
Other airstrips were built in Comilla, Feni, Chittagong, Cox's Bazaar, Chakaria, Sylhet,
Jessore, Rajshahi and Lalmonirhat.
In August 1943, a South Asia Command was formed under Admiral Mountbatten,
including the RAF Third Tactical Air Force (Third TAF), which launched the second
Burma Campaign against the Empire of Japan in the December that year. The Royal
Indian Airforce (RIAF), Indian part of the Royal Air Force played a crucial role by
providing tactical reconnaissance and extensive close support to the army when a British
Corps started advancing down the Arakan coast in January 1944.
In November 1943, 6 Squadron and later 8 Squadron were moved to Cox's Bazaar. By the
end of February 1944, No 6 Squadron pilots had completed over 1,000 operational
sorties, averaging 6 sorties a day per pilot, a record for the entire the Third TAF. Towards
the end of March 1944, 4 Squadron joined the operations when it was moved first to Feni
airfield, and then to Comilla in June to replace 6 Squadron.
CIVIL AVIATION:
When the war was over, the colonial government decided to build the Tejgaon Airport
along with a landing strip at Kurmitola to meet the needs of a Royal Indian Air Force
(RIAF) station in Dhaka. In 1946, the Mirza Ahmad Ispahani and his partners formed an
airline - Orient Airways - which soon started using the airport as a civil airport. Shifting
its base from Kolkata to Karachi when Pakistan was born, Orient Airways started DC-3
flights from Karachi to Dhaka on 7 June 1954, forming a critical connection between the
capitals of geographically separated East and West Pakistan. On March 11 1955, Orient
1998-00 The airport was under gone the development project known as Chittagong
Airport Development Project assisted by Japan as the agreement. A new
terminal building was constructed along with installation of new
aeronautical and passenger service equipment. The architectural and
environmental beauty and grandeur of the airport is noteworthy.

AVIATION SECURITY
Aviation security procedures are designed to deter, prevent and respond to criminal acts
that may affect the safety and security of the traveling people. Criminal activities include
the hijacking of aircraft, known as air piracy, damaging or destroying aircraft with
explosives and terrorism activities. Now in the world security problems are the main
problems for airlines industry. Criminal activities such as assault, theft and vandalized
aircraft which cause falling down of airline business in the world and damaging air
property, paasnge4rs and air facilities.
Airport and aircraft security of course influence the development of tourism sector. Even
unsecured places are greatly responsible foe tourism development. Security moving from
home to destination to and from airport of any country must be ensured for travelers to
sustain tourism development. After 11 September, 2001 US Department of Transportation
developed Transportation Security Administration to ensure the security. There are huge
act has been passed for airport security. These are
Civil Aviation Ordinance, 1960
The Civil Aviation Ordinance, 1960 (XXXII of 1960) was made to make better
provisions for the control of manufacture, possessions, use, operation, sale, import and
export of aircraft, the control and regulation of air transport services, and the control and
development of aerodromes in the country. It repealed the Aircraft Act, 1934 (XXII of
1934).
Aircraft (Removal of Danger to Safety) Ordinance, 1965
The Aircraft (Removal of Danger to Safety) Ordinance, 1965 (XII of 1965) was
promulgated by the Government in the year 1965. It deals with flight safety.
Civil Aviation Rules, 1984
The Civil Aviation Rules, 1984 was made and promulgated by the Government in
exercise of the powers conferred by sections 4, 5, 7 and 8 of the Civil Aviation
Ordinance, 1960 (XXXII of 1960), section 10 of the Aircraft (Removal of Danger to
Safety) Ordinance, 1965 (XII of 1965), section 4 of the Telegraph Act, 1885 (XIII of
1885), and in suppression of the Aircraft Rules, 1937 and the Airport Obstruction
Clearance Rules, 1981.
only as a result of the important economic contribution of the tourism industry, but also
as an indicator of the degree of confidence with which global citizens leverage the
resources of the globe for the benefit of their local economies. Space tourism is expected
to "take off" in the first quarter of the 21st century, although compared with traditional
destinations the number of tourists in orbit will remain low until technologies such as a
space elevator make space travel cheap.
Technological improvement is likely to make possible air-ship hotels, based either on
solar-powered airplanes or large dirigibles. Underwater hotels, such as Hydro polis,
expected to open in Dubai in 2009. On the ocean tourists will be welcomed by ever larger
cruise ships and perhaps floating cities. Some futurists expect that movable hotel "pods"
will be created that could be temporarily erected anywhere on the planet, where building
a permanent resort would be unacceptable politically, economically or environmentally.
SWOT ANALYSIS:
STRENGTH:
The Professionalism is the main strength of this sector. If all the company do and
maintain perfect professionalism according there rules then non of the company win net
go for loss, every one will gain profit.
WEAKNESS:
In Bangladesh capital, corruption and less professionalism are the most weakness in this
industry.
OPPORTUNITY:
Now in Bangladesh is a developing country and this sector is very much profitable for
Bangladesh investor. Because only 4 domestic companies are running business over here
so the total market is about entry.
THREATS:
The main threats for our aviation industry is standard service quality other foreign
company who are also running these operation in our country. Getting the standard
quality service is the main threat for Bangladesh Airline Company.
FINDINGS:
There are some findings that I have seen in our aviation industry are given
below:
Over come the corruption problem and provides the license as soon possible.
Provides lone from the begging of the company.
Make sure all sort of facilities are available in tourism sector like other countries.
Give more opportunity for the cargo freight company to do business in
Bangladesh, for instance decrease the tax of cargo fright.
Enforce every public and private university to open aviation related department
subjects.
Increase the security system of cargo, passenger and airport entry.
Introduce e-Passport system for the every citizen of Bangladesh to make sure all
kind of securities in aviation sector.
Not only cargo and passenger should be in aviation sector but also helicopter
service can be earning huge amount of revenue form this sector.
RECOMMENDATION
From the total overview of Bangladesh, aviation industry form my point of view if some
of the point can be turn then whole industry can earn huge amount of revenue in every
year. Within the few years about 2/3 company start their operation in this sector so that is
mean in this sector lots of opportunity are flying. I believe if any company wants to
establish a new company this aviation will be the right cup of tea.
To get more revenue from the aviation sector our current government should take few
positive steps to create good business environment in Bangladesh.
Make sure all the related sector of aviation industry should be corruption free.
Encourage investor to invest in this sector.
Bound every company to enlist with share market within 5 years.
Every private and public university should include aviation related course in their
curriculum.
Give huge lone to this sector to enlarge
Make easy the procedure of getting license of cargo and passenger service.
If our government and we can overcome those problem and barriers at the same time if
we be more professional in this sector then our specialists of this sector are optimistic
within 5 year we can be a model for developing country about aviation sector...
