 Air Mandalay (6T) operated a trio of ATR72-210QCs on a domestic network including Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Heho, Thandwe and Sittwe.  Additionally, international flights are operated to Chiang Mai and Phuket (only for a short period in end-1996).  Here, F-OHFS is spotted at Bagan's Nyaung-U Airport (NYU).  One aircraft (F-OHLC) has since gone on lease to Bangkok Airways.

 Adding to the small number of civil operators at Yangon Airport is the small fleet of not-so-small Y-8 (Chinese-built versions of the Antonov 12).  Four trails of smoke marks the departure path of this elegant giant.
