An Airbus A319, An ATR 72 & A Deserted Airport: My Journey Through Myanmar During A Civil War

In 2026, my journey through Myanmar involved flights operated by Myanmar Airways, presenting a unique and challenging travel experience amidst ongoing civil unrest. The airline’s operations were notably impacted by the prevailing circumstances, requiring careful consideration of logistical factors. I utilized an Airbus A319 and an ATR 72 during this trip, reflecting the diverse aircraft within the company's fleet at that time. These flights occurred against the backdrop of a deserted airport, highlighting the operational disruptions caused by the conflict. Overall, despite these difficulties, my interaction with Myanmar Airways was positive.
