Airlines in Myanmar increase surcharges

Shwe.jpgFollowing Myanmar’s fuel price crisis, 3 of the country’s carriers have announced changes in their fuel surcharges. They increased surcharges from the previous US$ 3.00 to US$ 5.00, per sector, to US$ 10.00 to US$ 15.00, per sector.

Effective October 01 2007 - Yangon Airways and Air Bagan implemented new surcharges. Air Bagan’s domestic surcharges increased from US$ 3.00 to US$ 10.00, per sector from Yangon to Mandalay, Bagan and Heho.

The surcharge on Yangon Airways’s Mandalay-Yangon sector increase from US$ 3.00 to US$ 10.00.

On September 15 2007, Air Mandalay introduced its first surcharge jump on Mandalay-Chiang Mai se ctor from US$ 11.00 to US$ 13.00

Despite protest last week that disrupt traffic in Yangon, airlines reported advance bookings were positive for the country. Myanmar’s main tourist season will kick in this November raising concern that the recent protests could impact on travel bookings further down-track. So far both airlines and travel agents are reporting no change in booking trends.
