Aviation service cuts the time of transportation for passengers and cargos and charges the largest amount of fee from users. But, most of the passengers wishing to travel anywhere, including the affordable persons, prefer to use the aviation service because of the aforesaid advantages.
As such, the aviation service is the most popular among other transportation services such as road transport by vehicle, rail transportation by train and waterway transport by vessel.
The government suspended the aviation services of both the State-owned Myanmar National Airlines and the private-run airlines during the highest level outbreak of Covid-19 in Myanmar in early 2020. When the risks of the pandemic gradually plummeted down in the nation, the government eased restrictions for transport services, including the aviation service except for relief flights.
In May 2021, domestic airlines are being operated to give transport services to the passengers. In this regard, Myanmar National Airlines and Air KBZ resumed aviation services, while GMA and Mann Yadanarpon Airlines fly the route between Yangon and Sittway. Air Thanlwin Airlines commenced its service of some flights on 1 May.
MNA and Air KBZ give aviation services to passengers from Yangon to some major cities of regions and states centring in Yangon.
The Ministry of Health and Sports stated that the passengers from domestic flights do not need to receive the Covid-19 test but abide by other health guidelines. However, they will be allowed to take the flight if they are free from all symptoms of Covid-19 infection.
Myanmar National Airlines and Myanmar Airways International provide Covid-19 test to passengers for relief flights to Bangkok, Singapore and those from the domestic flights at the cargo warehouse of the Yangon International Airport and National Health Laboratory starting from 10 February.
Although the government eases the restrictions for the Covid-19 pandemic, the passengers need to conscientiously follow the health guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Sports how to prevent the infection of the pandemic.
