Bangladesh’s advisory council has approved drafts of the Civil Aviation (Amendment) Ordinance 2025 and the Bangladesh Travel Agency (Registration and Control) Amendment Ordinance 2025 to strengthen transparency, accountability, and governance in the aviation and travel sectors. The new laws introduce mandatory registration of digital ticketing systems to prevent price manipulation and ticket hoarding, authorize the creation of a Civil Aviation Economic Commission to regulate fees, and encourage the use of sustainable aviation fuel. Travel agencies face stricter penalties for illegal transactions, overpricing, and fraud, including fines up to 1 million taka and imprisonment up to one year. The reforms aim to protect migrant workers’ rights, ensure fair ticket pricing, and align Bangladesh’s aviation governance with international standards such as the Chicago Convention and ICAO guidelines.
