SEOUL, Dec 18 (Bernama) -- South Korea and Myanmar have agreed to fully
liberalise air transportation between the countries, meaning all
airlines, including low-cost carriers, may begin providing services, the
South Korean government said on Tuesday.
The agreement came at the Korea-Myanmar aviation talks held in Seoul on
Monday and Tuesday, South Korean news agency Yonhap reported.
"The countries agreed to remove the limit on the number of airline
companies providing services between the two countries," the Ministry of
Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs said in a press release.
Until now, two airlines from each side were allowed to provide
passenger services between the two countries, but in reality, only South
Korea's flag carrier Korean Air offers four flights per week to and
from Yangon, Myanmar's former capital.
"With the removal of the cap on the number of flights to and from
Myanmar, various new services with better prices and flight schedules
may be introduced to the route, significantly improving the convenience
for consumers," the ministry said.
