Air KBZ will resume flights to Myeik and Sittwe from May 1 onwards.
The airline had suspended flights to Myeik for three years and to Sittwe for one. It will now resume flights on these routes on the back of higher demand.
Domestic tour operators confirmed that the number of local visitors to Mergui Archipelago and Rakhine has increased over the recent summer vacation months.
“Of late, demand for flights to these two destinations has increased. There are a lot more local and foreign tourists wanting to visit the Myeik islands in particular so we have reopened flights to meet market demand,” a spokesperson from Air KBZ said.
