History
On July 11, 2018, the UGC drafted a law and submitted it to the Ministry of Education for setting up an aviation university in Bangladesh.[3] At the meeting of the Council of Ministers on September 28, 2018, the approval for the establishment of this institution was granted, along with three more universities receiving policy approval on the same day. On February 28, 2019, education minister Dipu Moni placed a bill in the National Parliament regarding the inauguration of this institution and it was passed.[4] A temporary office has been set up at the old airport at Tejgaon, Dhaka to handle the activities of the university.[5] Air Vice-Marshal Fazlul Haque has been appointed as the founding Vice Chancellor of the institution on May 26, 2019.[6]
