A Myanmar national private airline, the Air Bagan, will launch its second international flight between Yangon and Singapore on Sept. 7 following its first to Bangkok, Thailand in mid-May, sources with the airline said on Monday.

The addition of Air Bagan’s international flight to Singapore will bring the total number of air routes between Yangon and the Southeast Asian member nation to three. The other two airlines that have flown between the two cities are Silk Air of Singapore and the Myanmar Airways International.

Using a 228-seat airbus A 310-200 aircraft, the Air Bagan has been flying Bangkok daily since May 15 and the airline plans to stretch wing also to China’s Kunming, South Korea’s Incheon, Cambodia’s Siam Reap, India’s Chennai and Bangladesh’s Dhaka.

Air Bagan has been flying between Yangon and 17 domestic destinations, using two Fokker F-100, two France-made ATR-72, three ATR-42 aircraft and two airbus A 310 totaling nine, according to the airline.

Inaugurated in November 2004, Air Bagan, the first full private- invested airline in Myanmar, stands the third largest domestic private airline in the country after Air Mandalay and Yangon Airways.

According to official statistics, the number of foreign airlines flying Myanmar have reportedly reached 16 including Thai Airways International, Indian Airlines, Qatar Airways, Silk Air, Air China, China Southern Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Mandarin Airlines of Chinese Taipei, Malaysian Airlines, Bangkok Airways, Jetstar Asia, Phuket Airline and Thai Air Asia.
