Bangladesh Airlines Training Center - aviation Engineering

Bangladesh Airlines Training
Centre (BATC) began its journey
as the Ground Training School in
the Engineering Hangar at the
old Airport in 1972 immediately
after the War of Liberation and
subsequently moved to Biman’s
own building at Farm Gate.
In 1984, Biman Management
took advantage of an ICAO/UNDP
offer to set up an apprentice
training school at the current
location of Hazrat Shahjalal
International Airport. The UNDP/
ICAO assistance to set up
Apprentice Training School was
utilized to build a proper and full-
fledged training centre for the
national carrier.
BATC provides training in the
faculty of Operations Technical,
Avionics Engineering, Aerospace
Engineering, Customer Services,
Marketing & Sales and
Management Development.
Engineering Faculties have
provided Basic Aircraft
Maintenance Engineering
courses since its inception.
Maintenance Engineers of BATC
work in different corners of the
world, such as, USA, Canada,
Middle-east, Australia and the
East-Asian region. BATC also
provides type maintenance
courses (F-28, DC10-30, Airbus
A310, Boeing 737 and Boeing

Electrical, Instrument and Radio-
Radar categories for developing
Biman’s manpower for its
growing fleet. Additionally, BATC
conducts courses on Human
Performance and Limitations, Air-
Legislation, System Engineering,
Quality & Audit, Engineering
Planning etc. All of these basic &
type maintenance courses and
other courses are approved by
the national Civil Aviation

The Engineering wing of BATC
achieved EASA Part-147 approval
