DCA preps new air transport policies
Myanmar will sign air service agreements with the Netherlands and Mongolia this year, and is drawing up new policies that include tackling the profusion of domestic airlines, the Department of Civil Aviation’s director for transport has said. Myanmar boasts 11 airlines and a 12th – a joint venture between Japan’s ANA Holdings and a local company – received approval from the Myanmar Investment Commission earlier this year. The new air transport policy, which is being drawn up as part of the government’s 100-days initiative, will be finished soon and then the ministry of transport and communications will review the draft, director of air transport U Ne Win said.
