History
The airline was established on 23 January 1996 and started operations on 1 March 1996. It started off as a ground handling company at Banjul International Airport, but has since expanded into flight operations. On 1 December 2000 the first flight took off in co-operation with Air Namibia. It is owned by the Government of Gambia (99%) and Gambia Telecommunications Company (1%).
"Gambia International Airlines recorded a pre-tax profit of D1.3 million in 2003, but was forced to suspend sub-regional flight operations in April, 2004 due to operational problems. To restart flight operations in the sub-region, GIA is negotiating to lease a Boeing aircraft and aims to sign a final contract shortly" (extract from Government of Gambia Budget Speech 2005).
