GROUNDED domestic carrier Yangon Airways looks set to return to the skies on October 16, following its suspension by Myanmar’s Department of Civil Aviation last December (TTG Asia e-Daily, August 15).
Yangon Airways’ Aircraft Operation Certificate was reinstated last week, and the carrier has started to accept bookings from today (September 5).
The airline’s spokesperson said it would resume scheduled flights between Yangon and all previous domestic destinations – Nyaung Oo, Mandalay, Heho, Kengtung, Tachileik, Dawei, Myeik, Kawthoung, Thandwe and Sittwe, using its two ATR72 aircraft.
Yangon Airways will rejoin Air Mandalay, Air KBZ, Air Bagan, Asian Wings and state-run Myanma Airways in the domestic airline market.
