One of Myanmar's small regional airlines, Asian Wings Airways, plans to introduce new scheduled flights to Gaya, India, from Yangon and Mandalay by end of 2013.

In a pre-ITB Asia 2013 show visit to Yangon on 6 August to determine which Myanmar airline will exhibit in ITB Asia this year, Sayacinta - Airpost learnt from Ye Myat Min, the Research & Development Manager of Asian Wings Airways. that the airline is now concentrating on plans to fly direct to Gaya from Yangon and Mandalay in October 2013 since it has submitted its application to exhibit in ITB Asia 2013 after the deadline for exhibitor registration.

Preliminary flight schedules show that Asian Wings Airways flies to Gaya from Yangon on Sundays and to Gaya from Mandalay on Saturdays using its new Airbus A321-112 aircraft, flying to Gaya from Yangon at 5 am, arriving in Gaya at 5.55 am, before departing from Gaya at 7.25 am and touching down in Yangon at 10.20 am. Saturday flights from Mandalay depart at 7.55 am, touching down in Gaya at 8.40 am before departing from Gaya at 9.40 am and arriving in Mandalay at 12.25 pm. The outbound flight code from Myanmar is YJ 5511 while the inbound flight code from Gaya is YJ 5522.

Subsequently, the airline has withdrawn its late application to exhibit during ITB Asia 2013 in favour of a re-participation in ITB Asia 2014.

Ye Myat Min reveals to Sayacinta - Airpost that Singapore will be the third international destination that Asian Wings Airways plans to fly to within one to two years' time and a possible announcement will be made to the travel media during ITB Asia 2014.

Sayacinta - Airpost wishes Asian Wings Airways success in expanding its Asian route network.

Asian Wings Airways' first international destination is Chiang Mai, to which it began scheduled services to during the first week of August 2013.

Asian Wings Airways currently has no aircraft postcards among its products. However, inflight magazines, company profiles, aircraft key chains and aircraft stickers are available at its Head Office in Yangon.
