Myanmar MJets Opens Private Jet Terminal and FBO Facility in Myanmar

Myanmar MJets has ushered in a new era in Myanmar's aviation industry with the inauguration on Aug. 2, 2014 of a world-class private jet terminal and a full-range business aviation facility.

The integrated facility, known as Myanmar MJets Business Aviation Center (MMBAC), located at Yangon International Airport, is the first of its kind in the republic where private jet traffic looks set to grow tremendously.

MMBAC is a 50:50 collaboration between MJets Limited, the pioneer of private jet terminal and fixed-based operation (FBO) in Thailand, and Wah Wah Group, Myanmar's leading aviation business enterprise, with support from Myanma Airways, the national carrier of Myanmar and Myanmar's Department of Civil Aviation.

MMBAC will address the long-standing shortcoming for dedicated international standard facilities and services to properly cater to discerning high net worth individuals who travel on corporate jets through Myanmar.   

"There have been many wealthy and discerning aircraft owners requesting VIP treatment at Myanmar airports which I could not provide because facilities like what MMBAC has built simply did not exist," Ohn Myint, founder and chief executive of Wah Wah, related to his 16-year experience of handling corporate aircraft in the republic. 

MMBAC will not only fill the gap but will elevate Myanmar's aviation industry into the next chapter of development and modernization, he noted. 

MJets Executive Chairman, Jaiyavat Navaraj said MJets has brought its combined wealth of experiences, world-class professionalism and support garnered since its inception in 2007 to bear fruit with the opening of the MMBAC. 

"MMBAC will share similar high-standard of service quality as rendered at MJets Fixed Base Operation in Bangkok (at Don Mueang International Airport)," he asserted. 

Located next to Yangon International Airport's domestic passenger terminal, MMBAC boasts a luxurious executive lounge over a 2,800 sq ft area complemented with a shower facility, a business center, four crew day rooms and an office for flight planning and crew briefings. The two-storey MMBAC also has a direct access to the 32,000 sq ft hangar owned by Myanma Airways and where MMBAC users can keep their aircraft. There is dedicated on-site customs and immigration clearance including a security screening check point with built-in baggage X-ray machine. A car park for 100 vehicles is available adjacent to exclusive access to the MMBAC.  Part of the ground handling activities including ramp service will be provided by Myanma Airways under an operational support agreement with Myanmar MJets.
