Gov’t legalises importing new aircraft

Minister for Commerce Win Myint says that the Myanmar government has approved the importing of aircrafts in a meeting held on February 10.

“In our government era, we allow the import of aircraft and helicopter. Whoever can import them. Car import is also allowed. Previously we allowed five heavy machineries per company for import and now they can import them what they like. We don’t restrict them anymore,” Win Myint said.

The importing of aircrafts was illegal during the former military junta. The decision comes at a time when local carriers are beginning to expand their services to accommodate increasing arrivals of tourists.
