Increase Flights To Nay Pyi Taw

Thai AirAsia launched its daily Bangkok-Nay Pyi Taw service, while Bangkok Airways increased its services to daily on the same route.

Officials at Myanmar’s ministry of transport confirmed that Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines have filed for rights to fly to the capital in time for the SEA Games that opens early-December.

“We have received proposals from Singapore and Malaysia Airlines,” Deputy Minister for Transport Zin Yaw told the Union Assembly.

The ministry says it will invite more airlines to land at Nay Pyi Taw, while locally owned FMI and APEX airlines, both want to establish bases at the capital to serve domestic routes.

Nay Pyi Taw International Airport opened 19 December 2011, but international services have only been approved earlier this year.

During a six-month promotional period, airport authorities cut landing fees in half and provided tax-free passenger services.
