FLIGHT operations returned to normal at the Yangon International Airport from 6 am yesterday, a day after a military transport aircraft skidded off the runway on Thursday.

“The runway at the Yangon International Airport (YIA) has been cleared of all obstructions, and normal flight operations resumed at 6 am,” according to a statement released by the airport authorities yesterday.

“However, some delay to flights can still be expected. The YIA encourages all travellers to check for flight updates with their respective airlines,” the airport authorities stated.

A military transport aircraft skidded off the runway at the Yangon International Airport on Thursday morning, while preparing for a training flight, resulting in the temporary closure of the runway.

No one was injured, and there was no damage to the plane, according to a news release from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services.
