FE Report
The Bangladesh Monitor has decided to introduce 'Airline of the Year' awards for the first time in the country, to be decided on frequent travellers' poll.
The awards have been introduced to assess the popularity of the airlines in the country, to judge their service standards and to create a competitive atmosphere among them, which would ultimately benefit the travelling people.
AKTEL has agreed in principle to act as the title sponsor of the award that would be named 'Monitor-AKTEL Airline of the Year Award - 2007.'
The Westin Dhaka and Galileo Bangladesh will also support the initiative, whereas Channel-I and ICE Today will be the media partners.
The Bangladesh Monitor Editor Kazi Wahidul Alam formally declared launching of the awards at a press conference at The Westin Dhaka recently.
AKTEL Head of Corporate Affairs Javed Tariq, The Westin Dhaka General Manager San Amalan and Galileo Bangladesh General Sales Manager Tofael Ibne Solaiman were also present on the occasion.
Wahidul Alam said, besides electing the 'Airline of the Year' for both passenger and cargo categories, the journal will also be seeking opinions from the frequent travellers for awarding the airlines in other categories.
Frequent travellers of the country will be able to express their opinions on a prescribed form or through website -www.bangladeshmonitor.net/award by October 20.
This is for the first time such an initiative has been taken to honour the airlines for their services.
