Air Bagan wants to fly to Phuket as well as Chiang Mai
A Burma private airline is planning flights to Phuket beginning this year, sources within the airline have told the China news agency, Xinhua.
The airline, Air Bagan, plans to add more services to Cambodia, Thailand and China in 2010, with a service between Yangon and Chiang Mai opening last Thursday.
Chiang Mai and Kuala Lumpur are now the airline’s two international destinations, the news agency says. Phuket and Siem Reap, the destination closest to Cambodia’s Angkor Wat, are next on the wish-list, with China’s Kumming and Guagzhou.
Air Bagan, which flies to 20 destinations inside Burma, has yet to cement its reputation internationally.
The airline’s first international scheduled service to Bangkok began on May 15, 2007 and the second, to Singapore on September 7 the same year.
Both of the flight services were suspended in 2008.
