New Yangon airport terminal to open in March
YANGON - Yangon International Airport’s new wing will open on March 12 and some airlines will be moved to the new terminal, according to the Transport Ministry.
The US$660 million, three-storey building will house an arrival hall for some international flights on the first floor, while the other floors will serve as a shopping centre.
The expansion project of the Yangon International Airport, which seeks to accommodate up to 2.7 million travellers per year, was awarded to Yangon Aerodrome Services, a subsidiary of Asia World Group.
The Yangon International Airport expansion project started in August 2014, and an opening ceremony will be held sometime before the announced opening date.
The ministry's spokesman said that only two or three airlines would move their operations to the extended part as the entire expansion project is yet to be complete.
