CAAB Flight Permission Guide in Bangladesh

Before You Fly: CAAB Permission, in Brief

The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB) is the regulatory body responsible for drone/UAS operation in Bangladeshi airspace. In general, operating a drone in Bangladesh — for recreational, commercial, survey, or agricultural use — requires prior registration and/or flight permission from CAAB before you fly, not after. This page summarizes the general shape of that process; it is placeholder guidance for local development and must be replaced with CAAB’s current, officially published requirements before this site goes live.

General Categories to Expect

  • Weight-based classification — lighter recreational drones are typically subject to lighter requirements than heavier enterprise/agricultural platforms, similar to most countries’ civil aviation frameworks.
  • Prior written permission for commercial, survey/mapping, and agricultural spraying operations, generally requested well in advance of the planned flight date.
  • No-fly / restricted zones around airports, military installations, government buildings, and other sensitive sites — always confirmed directly with CAAB for your specific flight location, not assumed from this page.
  • Import and ownership registration requirements for drones brought into Bangladesh, separate from per-flight permission.

How Drone Hub Bangladesh Helps

Every drone we sell is test-flown before delivery, and our pilots can walk you through what CAAB paperwork is likely to apply to your specific use case (travel/photography, filmmaking, survey, or agricultural spraying) before you buy. This is guidance, not a substitute for CAAB’s own current official requirements — always confirm directly with CAAB for your specific flight.
