Temporary Direct Flights Established Between China's Yunnan and Myanmar's Yangon Post-Earthquake
Flight services adjusted following disruption at Mandalay International Airport due to a major seismic event.
KUNMING, April 1 -- A temporary airline service has been implemented to connect Mangshi, a city in Yunnan Province, China, directly to Yangon, Myanmar, in response to the recent devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar.
The new 'Mangshi-Mandalay-Yangon' route will operate five times a week, specifically on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from April 1 to May 8. This adjustment follows the closure of Mandalay International Airport, which has been rendered inoperable due to a 7.9-magnitude earthquake that occurred on Friday.
Authorities at Dehong Mangshi Airport have indicated that they will closely monitor the recovery efforts for Myanmar's aviation infrastructure while maintaining coordination with Myanmar National Airlines to further adjust flight services as conditions evolve.
This initiative underscores the importance of cross-border transportation ties and air connectivity in the wake of natural disasters.
