Myanmar Airways cuts flights

MYANMAR: Myanmar Airways International has trimmed back its
schedule of flights in line with moves by other carriers
following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the United States,
the Myanmar Times newspaper reported.

In its edition to be published on Monday, the weekly said the
carrier issued a revised flight schedule last Monday showing
reduced services to Bangkok and Singapore.

Direct return flights to Bangkok have been reduced to one a
day while the carrier's morning service to the Thai capital has
been scrapped.

Also, direct return flights to Singapore have been cut from
five to three a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Flights to Singapore which stop over in Kuala Lumpur on the
return leg have been reduced to once a week, on Sundays. Before
the change, the service was available on Thursdays and Sundays.

However, Myanmar Airways International has introduced a direct
return flight to Kuala Lumpur on Thursdays. --AFP
