SilkAir launches inaugural flight to Mandalay

More flights slated as Myanmar opens up.

SIA’s regional wing has launched its inaugural flight to Mandalay on Tuesday. This is the airline’s second Burmese destination after Yangon.

The ten-hour flights to Mandalay will be operated on thrice a week, through a circular routing with Yangon. The flights will be departing Singapore on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

“As Myanmar continues to open up, we see significant potential for air travel to the country. We have seen increased demand for both leisure and business travel to Myanmar over the past few years and are excited to be developing this new market,” stated Leslie Thang, SilkAir’s Chief Executive.

Mandlay is Myanmar’s second-biggest city and its cultural and religious capital.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
