MYANMAR Airways International (MAI) has signed a codeshare agreement with Garuda Indonesia, allowing the carriers to provide convenient connections through international gateways Singapore and Bangkok.
Aye Mra Tha, general manager of MAI, said that although the airlines had agreed to direct flights between both countries, traffic remains low, leading to the codeshare for collaboration in promotions and marketing.
Under the agreement, MAI will place its 8M flight code on Garuda Indonesia flights between Jakarta, Bangkok, and Singapore. Garuda Indonesia will place its GA code on MAI’s services between Yangon, Bangkok, and Singapore.
“The codeshare flights are targeted to be available from December. The ticket price will be reasonable and we will officially announce it by next week,” Aye Mra Tha added.
Aye Mra Tha also shared that MAI plans to sign a codeshare agreement with Air France in the near future, adding to the list that currently includes Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines and now, Garuda Indonesia.
