Update: 07:30, Wednesday, Sep 05,2012 (GMT+7)
Singapore Airlines will launch daily services to Yangon on 28 October 2012 to cater to rapidly growing demand for travel to Myanmar.

Together with regional subsidiary SilkAir, the SIA Group will serve Yangon with 16 weekly flights.

SilkAir currently operates 16 weekly flights to Yangon with single-aisle Airbus A320-family aircraft. SIA will take over seven of those flights with larger 323-seat Boeing 777-200 widebody aircraft, increasing weekly seat capacity by 55%.

Yangon is the largest city in Myanmar and it once served as the country’s capital. Today it serves as Myanmar’s economic centre, in addition to being a popular tourist destination.

A series of airlines have expressed interest in relaunching flights to Myanmar since the country started opening up. Among these, ANA, EVA Air, Qatar Airways and AirAsia have already confirmed new or additional services to the country.
