Air Mandalay Destinations Air Mandalay Destinations Yangon The commercial centre of Myanmar, Yangon still maintains its colonial charm and features wide, tree-lined avenues, tranquil lakes and gracious turn-of-the- century architecture. The magnificent Shwedagon Pagoda dominates the city skyline, while at street-level Yangon is a paradise for those wanting to hunt out exotic arts and crafts. Of particular interest are the many shops in Bogyoke Market and its many jewellery stores are famous for their rubies, sapphires and jade. At night, the Chinatown district comes alive with its street bazaars and night stalls selling snacks and fresh food. See and Do: * Wander around Shwedagon Pagoda, the 99-metre- tall (330 foot) stupa that glows golden at night * Shop in Bogyoke Market, the city’s premier outlet for precious gems and jewellery Mandalay Immortalised by Rudyard Kipling, Mandalay was established in 1857 in accordance with an ancient Buddhist prophecy. It was the final capital of Myanmar’s Konbaung Dynasty before the country was annexed by the British. The city takes its name from Mandalay Hill and is centred around the walls and moat of the old palace, which was destroyed in the fighting of World War II but was rebuilt in the 1990s. Mandalay is considered a centre of Buddhism in Myanmar and is also home to many of the country’s craft industries. See and Do: * Walk up Mandalay Hill, where more than 2000 years ago the Buddha reputedly prophesied the establishment of the modern city * Cross the Ayeyarwady River to Mingun, home to a giant unfinished pagoda Bagan One of the most remarkable archaeological sights in Asia – if not the world – the magic of Bagan has brought visitors to Myanmar for nearly 1000 years. Once the centre of a glorious kingdom, Bagan sits on a dusty plain and thousands of ancient temples dot the landscape as far as the eye can see. Today, apart from spectacular sunset views and serene river cruises, Bagan is also the centre of Myanmar ‘s lacquerware industry. See and Do: * Take a pony cart around the thousands of ancient temples that dot the Bagan plain * Eat out on “Restaurant Road”, the centre of nightlife in the area 46 | Air Mandalay - The Golden Flight Heho (Inle Lake) So near, yet so far.

Colourful hill tribes inhabit the surrounding fertile valleys and forested mountain tops, and their hand-woven silks See and Do: are a speciality of the region. * Peruse the floating markets, where ethnic groups in colourful traditional dress sell local handicrafts * Explore the ancient and cracked stupas of Indein Pagoda Thandwe (Ngapali Beach) Famous for its miles of picture-perfect sandy beaches, brilliant turquoise water and swaying coconut palms, Ngapali is Myanmar’s premier beach destination. Intimate resorts offer visitors the chance to swim, sail, kayak and feast on fresh seafood by candlelight as the sun sinks lazily into the Bay of Bengal.

See and Do: * Laze on the beach, or sip cocktails at your hotel bar as the sun sets over the water * Visit nearby fishing villages in the early morning to see locals unload their catch Sittwe (Mrauk U) The Rakhine State capital Sittwe is the gateway to the ancient city of Mrauk U, the former centre of a flourishing Rakhine empire. Mrauk U reached its peak in the 15th century and today has a completely different atmosphere to Myanmar’s other ancient sites. It also gets far less tourists and is often touted as an interesting alternative to Bagan.

The morning market in the centre of town features a colourful mixture of ethnic groups selling locally grown produce. See and Do: * Eat a bowl of traditional Shan-style noodles in the morning market * Hire a guide and head out into the countryside to explore the local hill tribe villages Tachileik Known as the gateway to the Golden Triangle, Tachileik was once notorious for its proximity to the drug trade but now is better known for its markets and shopping.

The city is also close to the Mekong River and the border with Laos. See and Do: * Shop in the sprawling markets, which attract hundreds of Thai visitors each day Chiang Mai (Thailand) This city in northern Thailand was founded 700 years ago as the capital of an ancient Lanna kingdom.

By 2030, that number is expected to rise to 30 million. Air flight traffic remains small at only 3,289 fright ton-miles in 2014-15.

CHAPTER 6 Myanmar Country Report Kyaw Myint Senior Economist/International Consultant Introduction Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, is now in the spotlight both politically and economically. Of late, it has been the go-to site of a growing number of individual and study missions for business, political and humanitarian reasons. During the 22nd World Economic Forum held in Myanmar on 5-7 June 2013, discussions around Myanmar's booming economy also touched on its lack of infrastructure, particularly in the electricity, telecommunications, and energy sectors. For the country, it is all about its courageous transformation for inclusion and integration. The Economy Myanmar's fifth Five-Year Plan for the period 2015-2016 shows targets of 6- percent gross domestic product (GDP) growth for 2011-2012, 6.7 percent for 2012-2013, 8.3 percent for 2013-2014, 8.2 percent for 2014-2015, and 9.6 percent for 2015-2016. The average annual GDP growth rate target for the fifth Five-Year Plan is 7.7 percent. Over the years, Myanmar’s gross domestic investment (GDI) ratio averaged around 12 percent per year. However, in the fifth Five-Year Plan, the investment ratio is at 30 percent and savings ratio at 20 percent while the tax 219 Financing ASEAN Connectivity revenue is only 3 percent of GDP.

  • Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of Myanmar
    1 Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau of Myanmar The aircraft accident investigation bureau (AAIB) is the air investigation authority in Myanmar responsible to the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Its mission is to promote aviation safety through the conduct of independent and objective investigations into air accident and incidents. For aviation related investigations, the AAIB conducts the investigations in accordance with Myanmar Aircraft Act and Rules and Annex-13 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation. In carrying out the investigations, the AAIB adheres to ICAO's stated objective, which is as follows: "The sole objective of the investigation of an accident or incident shall be the prevention of accidents and incidents. It is not the purpose of this activity to apportion blame or liability." Accordingly, it is inappropriate that AAIB reports should not be used to assign fault or blame or determine liability, since neither the investigation nor the reporting process has been undertaken for that purpose. 2 DRAFT FINAL REPORT OF HARD LANDING INCIDENT OF AIR MANDALAY AIRLINES EMBRAER-145EP IN SITTWE AIRPORT ON 18th SEPTEMBER, 2017 SYNOPSIS At 0552 (UTC) on September, the18th, 2017, Embraer-145EP aircraft encountered hard landing while landing to runway-11 of Sittwe airport.
