Task

“The mission of the Bangladesh Air Force Academy is to train and develop future Air Force Leaders with vision for tomorrow”.
Following the heroic contribution of Air Force personnel in the Liberation War, the need of having an academy to train future Air Force leaders was earnestly felt. The idea was crystallized in 1973, and the academic activities started under the name of BAF Cadets’ Training Unit (CTU) at Kurmitola, Dhaka in November 1974. The CTU was shifted to Jessore in April 1977 and re-named as the Cadets’ Training Wing (CTW). With the growing need of time, the CTW was re-modeled as a full-fledged Academy and renamed as Bangladesh Air Force Academy (BAFA) in April 1982. The Academy was initially affiliated with Rajshahi University and later on, with the National University, for awarding B Sc (Bachelor-in-Sience) in (Aeronautics) graduation degree to the Flight Cadets. Today, with its wide curriculum of flying, academic, general service and command and leadership training, the Academy is on a firm footing to develop the young trainees from home and abroad, as an all round officer. By maintaining an international standard, the Academy has trained cadets from various friendly countries. The Academy was awarded with the prestigious National Colours in 2003 by the Honourable Prime Minister of Bangladesh in recognition of its outstanding achievement.
