Bird’s eye view of Mandalay

MANDALAY, 13 December 2013: Myanmar Airways will assign two recently purchased 12-seat Grand Caravan Ex planes to provide sightseeing flights over Mandalay.

According to a local media report, the flights will last 15 minutes, and will be available just twice a week. The plane will fly over Mandalay Hill, Yankin Hill, U Bein Hill and Sagaing Hill offering scenic flights for foreign tourists.

MA will charge 16,000 Ks (US$16.28). The flights will use Chanmyathazi Airport, a World War II airport that is in downtown Mandalay rather than the international Airport at Tada-U Township, some 30 km away.
