Bangladesh’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAAB) has imposed a temporary ban on drone operations in and around all airports, including Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka, effective until February 15, 2026. The decision was announced on December 23 following reports that several media outlets flew drones without authorization during a high-profile event at the airport on December 19.
According to CAAB, such unauthorized drone use violates the Drone Registration and Flight Policy 2020 and poses serious risks to both national security and safe air navigation. The authority has requested all relevant agencies to ensure strict compliance with the directive and to raise awareness among drone operators and media organizations.
The temporary restriction underscores growing concerns about drone misuse near sensitive installations. Officials indicated that further regulatory measures may follow, including stricter licensing and enforcement mechanisms to prevent similar incidents in the future.
