All Nippon to resume flights to Myanmar

4/13/2012 10:39:49 AM

All Nippon Airways (ANA) will resume regular flights to Myanmar for the first time in 12 years, as the two countries deepen economic and political ties with Myanmar's emergence from decades of isolation, reported Reuters. "We are making preparations to be able to start flights as soon as possible," ANA president Shinichiro Ito told a regular news conference. He said the airline was considering direct flights between Tokyo's Narita airport and Yangon. Myanmar could become an important market with its population of more than 60 million and an abundance of Buddhist relics to attract Japanese tourists, Ito added. Demand for air travel to Myanmar is increasing along with rising interest in industrial projects and market research, he said, although it has mostly been served up to now by flights via Bangkok and Singapore.   Cargonews Asia
