The government is going to strengthen the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Tourism by creating 10 posts, including one of additional secretary and two of joint secretaries. Two posts of deputy secretary and five of senior assistant secretary would be created, sources in the ministry said.

“There are four joint secretaries in the ministry, against two regular posts of joint secretary.

We need to create 10 posts in the ministry as the activities of the ministry has increased following implementation of the government’s plan to make Bangladesh a middle-income country by 2021,” he said.

The official claimed that the work of six departments under the ministry, including the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh, Biman Bangladesh Airlines Ltd, Bangladesh Parjatan Corporation and the Bangladesh Tourism Board, has increased.

“The public administration ministry and the Finance Division have given approval to create the 10 posts," he said.

Sources said 25 posts are lying vacant—seven of class-I officials, seven of class-II and 11 of class-III and class-IV. At present, 49 officials and employees are working in the ministry against 114 posts.

In 1972, the Civil Aviation Division was created and brought under the Ministry of Shipping, Inland Water Transport and Civil Aviation. An independent civil aviation and tourism ministry was created in August 1975.
