Mission Statement To be preferred airlines of Bangladesh. History GMG Airlines Commenced life in 1997, the idea behind its creation being to take advantage of a specific gap that existed in the Bangladesh Air Transport industry for quality oriented local airline but with a global reach. The repeated failures of the national carrier and the even enhancing shares of foreign air carriers in Bangladesh market only made the country, its intelligentsia and its business community more determined than even before to have an air carrier of Bangladeshi origin, free of state interference that could challenge the hegemony of foreign airlines and help the country to gain its rightful place on the global air transport map. The economic crisis of 2008-2009 resulted in severe losses for the global airlines industry and Bangladesh ws no exception. GMG Airlines however used the opportunity to reinvent itself and learn from the experience. Despite the trail of failed private airlines ventures in Bangladesh, the BEXIMCO Group indentified the existence of a gap for a cost rationalized, service oriented airline and decided to financially back GMG Airlines by picking up a majority stake in the carrier. With the entry of the BEXIMCO Group as strategic investors in June 2009, GMG Airlines’ vision of expanding its horizons to become a global player with a distinctly regional touch started becoming a reality.
