About
I’m an aviation security professional based in Dhaka, Bangladesh, focused on keeping air travel safe through sound operations, clear procedures and well-trained people.
I joined Biman Bangladesh Airlines in 2018 and have built my career in its Security Department. Today I manage security operations: ICAO-compliant procedures, regulatory documentation, training programmes and the teams who carry them out. My work involves regular coordination with CAAB, IATA and the security teams of foreign carriers.
I hold an MBA in Aviation Management, I’m a CAAB-approved AVSEC instructor, and I’ve added data analytics and cybersecurity to my toolkit. I started this site to share general insights on aviation security and to learn from others in the field.
