Myanmar Airways International will start offering both domestic and international charter flights in 2014, said Daw Aye Mra Tha, marketing and public relations officer at MAI.

The Myanmar aviation industry continues to grow as Myanmar Airways International make plans to expand flight itineraries and buy new aircraft in the coming year.

“We plan to offer charter flights to Japan and South Korea this year, depending on demand from passengers,” she said.

“We will also offer charter flights serving Yangon, Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw,” the only domestic airports with runways big enough to accommodate MAI’s large aircraft.

Domestic airline Myanmar Airways, which saw a 35 percent increase in passengers in 2013, will also add new destinations and more charters, and buy new aircraft for its fleet.

Golden Myanmar Airlines – which currently flies to Yangon, Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, Bangkok and Singapore – will also expand its routes, adding Myitkyina in Kachin State as a destination and later flying to airports in nine more states and regions.
