MYANMAR Airways International (MAI) is starting a new daily flight in the Bangkok-Singapore-Bangkok sector from February, deploying Airbus A320 with 150 seats and A321 with 210 seats.

As well, to facilitate travel on their busiest routes, Guangzhou, Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, MAI is offering visas on arrival (VOA) for passengers of any nationality.

Ye Jhan, country manager (Thailand & Cambodia) confirmed that the VOA arrangements had helped to increase business travel to Myanmar.

“We are looking at acquiring more aircraft to support the opening of new routes within ASEAN and to other Asian destinations”, he said.
