YANGON—Myanmar Airways International (MAI) is now operating direct flight between Yangon and Bangkok twice per day, and there is no plan to reduce the number of flights or to withdraw the flight schedules, said Aye Marya Tha, assistant general manager of MAI.
“We can’t cancel the flight schedules because tickets were sold in advance. We make the trip twice a day from Yangon to Bangkok. We have no plan to stop our flights due to the Kho Tao murder verdict. As for MAI, there is no plan to reduce the number of flights and or withdraw the schedules,” said Aye Marya Tha.
In Myanmar, people in major cities, including Tachileik, near the border with Thailand, staged protests demanding the release of two Myanmar migrants who face the death penalty for killing two British tourists on Kao Tao.
Moreover, Myanmar citizens who are working in Japan and Malaysia have protested against the Kho Tao verdict.
