EU envoy stresses stronger BD-EU cooperation in civil aviation

Dhaka : European Union Ambassador and Head of Delegation to Bangladesh Michael Miller underscored the potential for deeper Bangladesh-EU collaboration in the civil aviation sector, emphasizing the need for a fair and competitive environment to unlock that potential.

He highlighted the EU's offer of support on fleet renewal, green aviation, innovation and safety, expressing hope that Bangladesh's aviation sector will become a driving force for economic growth.

Bangladesh and the European Union strengthened their cooperation in civil aviation through two major technical events held in Dhaka on November 23-24, where experts and officials from Europe and across South Asia gathered to exchange knowledge on safety management and regulatory oversight.

Organized under the EU-SA APP- an EU-funded initiative implemented by EASA - the activities combined a three-day Regional Aviation Safety Program with a dedicated workshop on ICAO's Universal Safety Oversight Audit Program (USOAP).
