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.
