New platform for foreign airlines GSA launched

A new platform named "Airlines GSA (General Sales Agent) Forum of Bangladesh" has been officially launched in the country.

The inauguration ceremony was held at a hotel in Dhaka last night where representatives from various local and international GSA companies, who represent foreign airlines operating in Bangladesh, were present.

The event was graced by the Chairman of the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB), Air Vice Marshal M Monjur Kabir Bhuiyan, as the chief guest.

The organisers said currently, more than 70 foreign aviation operators are working in Bangladesh, of which around 50 are represented by GSA companies. Their collective efforts play a crucial role in boosting both tourism and trade.

According to the forum members, 28 GSA companies are currently active in Bangladesh, and several others have expressed interest in joining the platform.

The forum's Member Secretary, Muzakker Hossain, also addressed the gathering during the event.

Stakeholders believe that the newly formed forum will enhance transparency, coordination, and help the GSA sector achieve international standards.
