Myanmar National Airlines, Air ThanLwin, Mann Yadanabon Airlines, and Mingala Airlines will operate Myitkyina-PutaO domestic flights on a rotating weekly schedule.

Although the Myitkyina Airport has been suspended since 21 February, it plays a key role as a transport facility for residents in Kachin State. As of 11:50 am on 4 April, passenger flights have resumed operations at Myitkyina Airport.

The terrorist group attacked Myitkyina Airport with drones at 8:12 pm on 20 February, causing damage to a Myanmar National Airlines aircraft. Since 21 February, flights have been suspended at the airport for more than 40 days.

Air ThanLwin, which has been operating domestic flights, resumed its services on 4 April. To ensure smooth travel for the people, four airlines that normally operate from Myitkyina Airport – Myanmar National Airlines, Air ThanLwin, Mann Yadanabon Airlines, and Mingala Airlines – will operate on a rotating schedule on Myitkyina-PutaO domestic flights throughout the week.

Myanmar National Airlines is scheduled to operate the domestic flight to PutaO Airport twice a week, every Wednesday and Sunday. Moreover, Mann Yadanabon Airlines and Mingalar Airlines have arranged to run the domestic flights to PutaO, said U Sithu, the in-charge of Myitkyina Airport.

With airlines resuming regular operations, travel for residents, whether for personal, health, or other reasons, will become more convenient. Furthermore, government departments will be able to conduct their office work more smoothly and efficiently.
