FIRST DIRECT FLIGHT FROM NGAPALI BEACH TO BANGKOK
BANGKOK Airways flew direct from Mazin (Ngapali) airport to Bangkok along with 46 passengers on ATR 72 on last April 9 2005.
Those 46 passengers were tourists arranged under the supervision of ministry of hotels and tourism, and with the help of other ministries concerned.
They had arrived in Mandalay on Bangkok Airways on April 2, and after having toured around Inle and Bagan they visited Ngapali for relax.
This was the first time of flying from Ngapali direct to other countries. Being permitted such direct flight will probably pave the way for emergence of similar flights in the near future, and it can benefit for development of the region as well as encourage current hotel projects which are being constructed.
