GMG Airlines - by P Cooper

What a disaster! Most of their planes are grounded as not airworthy, most flights out of Kathmandu
are cancelled - do not book with this airline! Unreliable. Did see one plane leave from Dakka to
Kuala Lumpur however, so at least one is still working.

My own experience of this airline was not so good. I had late flights
and one cancelled just before we started moving when the pilots window
shattered. I found Biman to be better.

GMG has just acquired two MD-82 jets and is now flying international
routes from Dhaka to Kathmandu, Bangkok and Delhi. I flew Business Class
return to Kathmandu on 24/10 and 26/10. Seating is 2+2 with leather
seats and you get a pre-meal drink, hot meal and coffee on this one hour
flight. Flight was 30 mins delayed leaving, on time for return. Service
was very attentive and, on return to Dhaka, Business Class passengers
are bussed first to the terminal. As a welcome alternative to Biman with
all its problems, this small and professional airline deserves to do
well.

This private enterprise provides execellent value for money. Bought
the ticket for the flight from Dhaka to Jessore and back from the airlines office in Dhaka. Airline
repeatedly called me the next two days for letting me know of slight changes in schedules due to
sudden permission and operation of a daily flight to Kolkata. Check-in was professional. Would have
been better had the passengers known how to queue. May be the airline can hire more staff to bully
unruly passengers into queuing! Flight was 30 minutes each way on a Canadian Dash aircraft. Small
aircraft did have a congested and worn out feeling but it was only for 30 minutes. Sole female
flight attendant distributed a selection of biscuits, cakes, chocolates, mango juice or yoghurt for
snacks followed by bottled water. It was time to land before you realized. Much better than Biman.

If you are tired of the unprofessional service of Biman, you must try GMG Airlines. The airline is
small -- 3 Dash 8s in the fleet -- but run very professionally. Currently flying only domestically
in Bangladesh, the airline has just received rights to fly to Kolkata (Calcuta) in India from
Chittagong and Kathmandu from Dhaka. I flew the airline for a day trip to Chittagong from Dhaka.
While Biman ticket desk was unable to help me get a ticket at Dhaka airport ("We can sell you a
ticket, but we don't exactly know the schedules -- they change often and our PC and telephone are
out of order"!), GMG ticket agent was courteous, gave me the schedule and informed me of the payment
options (cash or credit card). The check-in was a breeze -- and the wait at the lounge at the
domestic terminal was fine. Since I was flying back on the same day, I was given a return boarding
pass and was told I could show up only 15 minutes before my return trip GMG serves hot beverages
to its customers, and provides newspapers at the lounge. Ok, this is not the world class lounge of
Singapore Airlines, but compared to Biman, this was majestic. The flight to Chittagong was
pleasant. The aircraft was clean and well kept. There is a snack service, and it again newspapers
were provided to passengers. The flight left on time. The return flight was efficient as well, and
the check-in at the new Chittagong airport was impressive. The ground crew was courteous and
knowledgable. Overall, I was very impressed with the way GMG operates.
