In a significant development for bilateral defense cooperation, the Bangladesh Air Force has formally requested the Pakistan Air Force to train its pilots and technicians. PAF has agreed to host Bangladeshi aircrew for specialized courses in fighter conversion, tactical operations, and aircraft maintenance. This marks the first such training program between the two air forces since 1971, reflecting growing trust and a shared commitment to enhancing regional aviation capabilities. The initiative will strengthen professional ties and contribute to the operational readiness of both air forces.
