News_Editor Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Burmese authorities plan to allow foreign visitors to receive visas on arrival at international airports in Mandalay and Naypyidaw, local media reported on Tuesday. Previously, the service was only available at Yangon International Airport, the country’s main gateway. On June 1, Burma announced that visitors from 31 countries could enter without prearranged visas, but it remains unclear if this applies to tourists as well as business travelers. According to official statistics, 359,359 tourists arrived at Rangoon’s international airport in 2011. The number is expected to reach 1.5 million this year.

tombkk Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Has Nyapyidaw (ICAO: VYEL; IATA: ???) been approved as an international airport? I must have missed that. Are any airlines flying there yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibbler Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The IATA code for Naypyidaw Airport is NYT. ICAO code is VYEL. China Southern and Hong Kong Air fly charters there. Other than that only serviced by domestic flights at the present time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
