Japan and Myanmar have agreed to revise a bilateral aviation accord to allow more than one air carrier from each country to offer flights, the Foreign Ministry said.
Japanese Ambassador to Myanmar Mikio Numata and Tin Naing Tun, director general of the Department of Civil Aviation at Myanmar's Transport Ministry, signed a protocol to revise the 1972 accord in Yangon, the ministry said Thursday.
The revision will allow more than one airline from each nation to fly between the two countries, making it possible for Japan Airlines to jump into the fray.
