GMG to operate flights on another two int'l routes


Private airline company GMG yesterday got permission to run its flights on another two international routes, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan, sources said.

It received the permission after a meeting with the civil aviation and tourism ministry.

Dr MA Momen, managing director of Biman, the national airlines, told The Daily Star, "So far the private airline has been allowed to operate flights on seventeen routes, but it is yet to begin flight operations on all those routes."

On the permission of carrying hajj flight that the private airlines sought, the Biman MD said, "We do not have any objection to give permission to GMG to operate hajj flight."

However, the matter is yet to be finalised, although it came up for discussion at the meeting with the representatives of GMG.
