In Bangladesh, aircraft security is managed primarily by the Aviation Security (AVSEC) division of the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB). At Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (Dhaka), for example, the AVSEC division is dedicated to “protecting the lives and property of passengers, crew, ground personnel and visitors. This team screens all passengers and baggage for weapons, explosives or contraband, and patrols the tarmac, aprons, and terminals. They also supervise vehicle movements and maintain controlled-access zones. AVSEC works under ICAO’s Annex 17 framework, enforcing global security standards across Bangladesh’s airports.
Continuum Aviation’s aircraft security services in Bangladesh build on this framework by providing customized security for visiting flights. We liaise with AVSEC to arrange special screenings when needed (e.g. for VIP flights), and we can supplement local measures with additional security officers if required. For cargo operations, we ensure manifest declarations and any permits for dangerous goods are in order. Continuum personnel receive training consistent with Bangladesh’s security regulations and international best practices, ensuring that whether in Dhaka, Chittagong, or elsewhere, clients benefit from rigorous aircraft security protocols combined with seamless coordination with local authorities.
AVSEC stands for Aviation Security. In Bangladesh, CAAB’s AVSEC units manage airport security, screening passengers/baggage and safeguarding aircraft.
CAAB’s AVSEC teams work with airport police. Private contractors may support, but the government agency has ultimate responsibility.
Standard items: no weapons, explosives, or flammable liquids beyond allowed limits. Duty-free alcohol/cigarettes are permitted within quotas.
Yes. High-risk flights or those carrying VIPs may get intensified checks. Continuum helps arrange and navigate these procedures.
For international flights, 3 hours ahead is safe. For private jets, plan for 1–2 hours, including security screening.
Passengers/crew need passports and visas. Cargo needs manifests. Continuum checks all documentation pre-flight, so nothing holds up CIQ processing.
Yes, once permitted, security is similar to scheduled flights. We will coordinate with AVSEC so your private flight meets all requirements.
We can recommend security officers (retired military/police) to accompany high-value flights, subject to CAAB approval.
CAAB’s AVSEC personnel are trained under ICAO Annex 17 standards. Continuum’s team is similarly trained, including on handling threats and emergency response.
AVSEC has protocols for bomb threats, hijack drills, etc. Continuum will act as point of contact, coordinating with authorities to keep your flight and passengers safe.
Dhaka AVSEC Helpline: 13600 (Airport Hotline) or CAAB HQ: +880-2-8901969. Continuum operations desk is also available 24/7.
Yes, all commercial flights have security checks. Smaller domestic airports have basic screening; Continuum arranges extra if needed for charter flights.
ICAO Annex 17 is the international standard for aviation security. Bangladesh AVSEC adheres to it, meaning protocols align with global practices.
By pre-planning, deploying extra-trained staff, and ensuring all international regs (like Annex 17) are met, Continuum adds a layer of assurance so clients can “fly without worry”.
Specialising in both international and domestic aircrafts, we seamlessly manage arrivals, departures, and all aspects of ground support.
