The airline has earmarked Siem Reap, Bangkok, Phuket, Kunming, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore for its route expansion plan. It will also take delivery of ATR72-500 aircraft to expand its domestic route network, which now comprises flights to 17 cities. Further, Air Bagan will resume the twice-weekly service on the Yangon-Pathein route from November. The service has been temporarily suspended for the ongoing low season.
