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
