UNB, Dhaka :
The fresh organogram of the Civil Aviation Authority, Bangladesh (CAAB), one of the major conditions for it to get elevated to Grade I from Grade II, now awaits the Public Administration Ministry’s approval.
“On completion of our works, we’ve submitted the proposed new organogram to the Public Administration Ministry for its approval,” Civil Aviation and Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon told UNB.
After holding a series of meetings, checks and cross-checks, the draft of the new organogram was submitted to the Public Administration Ministry two weeks back. “Now, we’re hopeful that CAAB is going to have its new organogram,” the minister said.
Operating CAAB with a new organogram is one of the perquisites for it to be upgraded Grade I one from the existing Grade II as set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the USA. No aircraft from Bangladesh can enter the US space because of CAAB’s lower status.
Talking about the changes in the CAAB’s new organogram, minister Rashed Khan Menon said actually there has been little change in the existing organogram. “We’ve increased the workforce in some areas while decreased somewhere else,” he said.
According to rules, the proposed organogram will now be sent to the Finance Ministry for its approval after the evaluation by the Public Administration. Later, it will be sent to the secretary committee which will further evaluate and examine it. The final approval will be given by the Prime Minister.
After the final approval of the CAAB organogram, CAAB would invite the FAA audit team for inspecting their activities.
According to sources, the FAA placed the CAAB in Grade II in 2009 citing its “weak flight safety”, and accordingly imposed conditions on it to make CAAB fully autonomous with a fresh organogram.
On February 8, 2012, the CAAB had sent a proposal for the new organogram of around 13,776 employees to the Civil Aviation and Tourism Ministry and that went unheeded.
In 1985, the then Ershad government had promulgated the CAAB Ordinance No. XXXVIII, titled ‘The Civil Aviation Authority Ordinance, 1985’, with 3,716 officials, employees and workers.
