GMG Airlines was an airline in Bangladesh. It was the country's first, and until recently, the largest private airline having been established in 1997,[1] with its head office close to Dhaka airport in Nikunja-2 Dhaka, Bangladesh.[2] It operated both domestic and international flights. Its primary hub was Shahjalal International Airport, located in Dhaka.
In 2009 Beximco Group bought a major stake in GMG Airlines. In October 2012, India provided a temporary maintenance and operational base at Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Kolkata. With no overseas assets, by 2012 GMG Airlines' only international flights were to Kathmandu, Nepal. On 28 March 2012, GMG announced suspension of operations pending acquisition of new fleet. It expected to resume operations later in 2012 but has remained suspended well into 2019.[3] The company slogan was Explore.
