Air Bagan suspends operations until October

Air Bagan (W9, Yangon) managing director Htoo Thet Htwe says his airline has suspended operations until October owing to fleet maintenance requirements. The airline operates a pair of ATR42-320s and an ATR72-500 on flights throughout Myanmar as well as to Chiang Mai in neighbouring Thailand.

Speaking to the Irrawady newspaper, Htoo denied rumours the airline's hiatus was a direct consequence of its owner tycoon Tay Za's alleged links with the ousted leader of the ruling Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), Shwe Mann.

President Thein Sein dismissed Shwe, who is still Speaker of Parliament, from his post on Thursday last week for reasons that are still unclear.
