New Route for MAI

Mungpi/Mizzima News , February 24, 2004

Myanmar Airways International (MAI) will launch a new route to New Delhi on March 15, said an airline source in New Delhi.

B737- 800 aircrafts will take off every Monday, Wednesday and Friday to Indira Gandhi Airport in New Delhi with the return flights on the following day.

“It was meant to be launched on February but failed for technical reasons. We have many enquiries about the route in our office but we will not be sure how strong passenger demand is until the route is serviced”, the source said.

New Delhi is the fifth regional destination for MAI, which is a joint venture of the state-own Myanmar Airways and the Region Air, a Singapore-based carrier. MAI has been operating for eleven years and services to Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur.
