    HISTORY

    • Pakistan period

    • DCA and ADA merger
    • Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh
    Pakistan period

     
    • Aviation in India can be traced to the first commercial flight on
    18 February 1911, and grew during the period between the First
    and Second World Wars.
    • Some 103 airports, aerodrome, airfields and airstrips were built
    and operated by the Allied Air Forces in the part of present
    Bangladesh during the Second World War.
    • These airfields were extensively used for conducting air
    operations during the Burma Campaign against the Axis powers.
    • After the War, most of these facilities of the Royal Indian Air
    Force were left unused. After independence from British
    colonial rule and the partition of the subcontinent, the aviation
    infrastructure and facilities in what was then East Pakistan were
    inherited by the Pakistan Air Force.
    Pakistan Period
    • In the year 1947, the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA)
    was formed under the Ministry of Defence of the then
    Pakistan government.
    • This DCA managed the operations of civil aviation in
    the eastern part of Pakistan until 1971.
    • Its authority was extended by the Civil Aviation Authority
    Ordinance 1960, after which in 1961 the Government of
    Pakistan passed the right of use of almost all airfields and
    aviation related infrastructure and properties, except a
    few used by the then Pakistan Air Force, to the DCA.
    End Of Pakistan Period
    • After the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, a
    Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) was formed in the
    newly born country.
    • During the nine-month-long war, the aviation
    infrastructure had been badly damaged by bombardment
    by Allied Forces over the main airports to disable Pakistan
    Forces.
    • The DCA of Bangladesh inherited the assets and property
    left over by the erstwhile DCA of the Pakistan. Aviation
    activities in independent Bangladesh started in the last
    week of December 1971 under the Ministry of Defence.
