He holds a Graduate Diploma in Aviation Management from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and has received extensive training in aviation safety, regulatory oversight, audit techniques, and training course development. He is also a certified ICAO Instructor and has played a key role in elevating Bangladesh’s Civil Aviation Academy to Gold membership under ICAO’s TRAINAIR PLUS Programme (TPP) within three years.
Over the years, Mr. Chakraborty has contributed significantly to the implementation of ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), state safety oversight, and training management. He has represented Bangladesh in over a hundred Air Service Agreement (ASA) negotiations and participated in numerous high-level ICAO meetings and workshops.
His participation in this international forum marks a proud moment for Bangladesh, reflecting the country’s growing influence in the global aviation training landscape and its commitment to developing a skilled aviation workforce for the future.
