SeaVisionBurma Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 MYANMAR'S Ministry of Transport has revealed grand plans to overhaul the aviation landscape and transform Myanmar into an Asian aviation hub. From TTG Asia, by Sid Dartha Speaking at the Myanmar Civil Aviation Development Conference 2014 in Yangon this week, Nyan Htun Aung, union minister of transport, said: “For the future of Myanmar’s aviation sector, we have set a vision that aims to make Myanmar become a major (aviation) hub in Asia.” Four strategic thrusts were outlined: pursuing the liberalisation of economic regulation; establishing new air links to international destinations; promoting national airlines and improving infrastructure. Tin Naing Tun, director general of the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) said the ministry will first conclude air services agreements with new bilateral partners and revise some old agreements with more liberal provisions. Myanmar will also expand air route networks to Europe, the US and Australia, as it is already linked to Japan and emerging economies like India and China, he said.
