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.

Flights To India To Be Increased By Etihad Airways

Etihad Airways is to greatly increase options for travel to and from India, introducing more flights and wide-body jets by the end of this year, with further increases and new routes next year, subject to regulatory approval.

From 1 November this year, Etihad Airways plans to more than triple the number of seats it now offers on the prime Abu Dhabi – Mumbai and Abu Dhabi – New Delhi routes, reflecting the growing importance of the Indian market, and delivering significant economic benefits to the economies of India and Abu Dhabi.

James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer of Etihad Airways, said: “India is one of the world’s fastest-growing destinations, and a key market in the growth strategy of Etihad Airways ... Following the recent signing of a new air services agreement between India and the UAE, we now have the opportunity to add significant capacity between the two countries, not only meeting existing demand for trade and tourist travel but also ensuring that we can meet the continued strong growth which is expected between our two countries. The big winners will be our passengers and freight customers and the economies of India and Abu Dhabi.”

By 31 December, 2013, Etihad Airways plans to:

- Increase from daily to double-daily its Abu Dhabi-Mumbai and Abu Dhabi-New Delhi flights;

- Use wide-bodied Airbus A340-600 aircraft on one of the daily Abu Dhabi – Mumbai flights, offering First, Business and Economy Classes;

- Use wide-bodied Airbus A330-200 aircraft on one of the daily Abu Dhabi - New Delhi flights, offering Business and Economy Class; and

- Upgrade daily Abu Dhabi – Chennai flights from 136-seat Airbus A320s to new Airbus A321s, seating 174 passengers.

Subject to regulatory approval, Etihad also intends to codeshare on a wide range of flights operated within India by Jet Airways.

Specific details of new routes between Abu Dhabi and India and codeshare services with Jet Airways are expected to be unveiled progressively, as approvals are received and operational details are finalized.
