News_Editor Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Indian airlines have been given a green light to fly into Burma, according to a report by The Hindu. The newspaper quoted Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma, who was visiting Burma, as saying that the airlines had been granted “fifth freedom rights,†which allow an airline to carry revenue traffic between countries as a part of services connecting the airline’s own country. At present, there are no direct flight between Burma and India, but that could change soon, as Indian private carrier SpiceJet has expressed interest in adding flights from New Delhi to Rangoon via Dhaka.

Tomtomtom69 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 There are direct flights between Burma/Myanmar and India, from Kolkata. Not sure where the Irrawaddy is getting it's information from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Quite right. Air India supposedly flies direct twice weekly (Mondays and Fridays). Perhaps it is a seasonal/trial period? Either way Irrawaddy not on the ball here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
