GMG Airlines to fly to four new int'l routes


Private GMG Airlines will fly to four new international destinations -- Kuwait, Oman, United Arab Emirate and Pakistan -- by the year-end, officials announced yesterday in Dhaka.

As the flights to the Middle East countries will be direct, travellers from Bangladesh will be benefited, GMG Airlines Chairman Abdus Sattar told a function.

The local airline plans to operate Airbus or Boeing aircraft on the routes.

The airline is yet to fix the fares for the routes.

GMG eyes a huge number of Bangladeshis visiting the Middle East, the officials also said.

Civil Aviation and Tourism Secretary Md Shaikh Altaf Ali was preset at the function as chief guest.
