The Military Council has issued a new regulation for domestic flight travellers on Yangon-Mandalay sector flights. The domestic flight passengers must fill in the arrival and departure cards.

The Military Council’s Department of Civil Aviation issued a new regulation which says that from 1 November onwards all passengers travelling on Yangon-Mandalay and Mandalay-Yangon flights must fill in the cards.

According to this new regulation, the passengers must fill in the departure form first before boarding the Yangon-Mandalay flights and Mandalay-Yangon flights. The regulation also advises the passengers to bring their National ID and other official travel documents along with them.

Previously this civil aviation department exempted filling the departure and arrival forms starting from 12 August 2018 in their tourism promotion and to attract more foreign tourists.

This new regulation was issued for domestic passengers starting from November this year.

The new regulation comes after Operation 1027 was launched by ethnic militant groups in northern Shan State.
