Myanmar has three international airports: Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw, of which Yangon has most handling capacity for passengers and cargo. Mandalay and Naypyitaw airport normally don’t handle cargo (except luggage) and have few international flights. There is a limited number of helicopter companies available, who mainly operate for the natural gas and oil industry and avoid to fly cargo at high altitudes in the mountains. Obtaining permission, registration and certification for foreign registered aircraft to operate inside Myanmar for emergencies can be a lengthy and complicated process.

The successful planning and implementation of the census activities, followed by the timely release of the provisional results in August 2014, and now the main results in May 2015, is a clear testimony of the Government’s resolve to publish all information collected from respondents in accordance with the Population and Housing Census Law No. 19 of 2013. It is now my hope that the main results, both Union and each of the State and Region reports, will be interpreted correctly and will effectively inform the planning and decision-making processes in our quest for national and sub-national development. The census structures put in place, including the Central Census Commission, Census Committees and officers at the State/Region, District and Township Levels, and the International Technical Advisory Board (ITAB), a group of 15 experts from different countries and institutions involved in censuses and statistics internationally, provided the requisite administrative and technical inputs for the implementation of the census. The technical support and our strong desire to follow international standards affirmed our commitment to strict adherence to the guidelines and recommendations, which form part of international best practices for census taking.

KULLANDER & FANG FANG Department of Vertebrate Zoology, Swedish Museum of Natural History, PO Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden. E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Danio aesculapii, new species, is described from small rivers on the western slope of the Rakhine Yoma in south-western Myanmar. It is superficially similar to D. choprae from northern Myanmar in having a series of vertical bars anteriorly on the side, but differs from it and other species of Danio in having six instead of seven or more branched dorsal-fin rays, and from all other species of Danio except D. erythromicron and D. kerri in having 12 instead of 10 or 14 circumpeduncular scale rows. Key words: Rakhine Yoma, Thandwe, Danio choprae, endemism Introduction The cyprinid fish genus Danio Hamilton includes 14 small species in South and Southeast Asia (Kullander et al. 2009), as a rule diagnosable by distinct species-specific colour patterns. About half of the species of Danio have a pigment pattern that consists of one or more dark or light horizontal stripes (Fang, 1998). Among the others, Danio kyathit Fang differs in having the stripes broken up into rows of small brown spots, D. margaritatus (Roberts) has a pattern of small light spots on the sides, D. dangila (Hamilton) has rows of dark rings with light centres, and D.

    Myanmar Aviation Sector

    Myanmar Aviation Sector- Market Snapshot Myanmar Headlines Myanmar has 69 airports: three international, 30 domestic airports, and 36 dormant.1 Three international airports have now been built, though there are 66 remaining airports require further upgrades across the country. The aviation market in Myanmar is competitive, especially among local airlines. There are currently 11 local licensed airlines in Myanmar and 28 international airlines operating in Myanmar. Flag-carrier Myanmar National Airlines – which rebranded from Myanma Airways in 2014 – has the largest domestic fleet with 13 planes, followed by Air KBZ with eight aircraft as of April 2014.2 The eight other domestic carriers including Air Mandalay, Yangon Airways and Mann Yadanarbon have a total of 16 aircraft. International airlines such as Emirates, Qatar, Dragon air, Air China and KLM were launched flights to Myanmar in late 2016. According to the Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation (DCA), the number of passengers in 2013 increased to 4.2 million from 3.6 million in 2012. 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. It is expected to grow significantly when infrastructure develops.3 Market Situation Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) has a strategic plan to further expand the aviation sector with four objectives: pursue the liberalisation of economic regulations in the aviation sector strengthen air linkages promote airline businesses improve infrastructure The opportunities for all types of carriers in the market are vast as it is currently the most underserved region in ASEAN and perhaps all of Asia.
