History

edit

The airline was established on 6 October 1994 and started operations on 18 October that year with a flight from Yangon to Mandalay. It was the first domestic and regional joint venture airline in Myanmar. Director of Flight Operations was Captain Zaw Thein, and Chief Pilot was Captain James Keep. On 27 August 1995, Air Mandalay started its first international service from Yangon to Chiang Mai in Thailand.[1]

The airline ceased operations on September 4, 2018 amidst overcapacity in Myanmar's aviation market with all of its flights incorporated by Myanmar National Airlines.[2]
