India's Ambassador to Myanmar Saurabh Kumar said Air KBZ is keen to operate flights between Mandalay and Imphal, according to The New Indian Express.

To start the flight service, Kumar said the Air Services Agreement (ASA) has to be changed since Imphal is not among the points of call under the current agreement.

Bilateral ASAs provide for carriers from the respective countries to operate flights to specified places in each other's territory.
