Headquarters

Yangon, Myanmar

Air Bagan was a privately owned Myanmar airline that operated domestic and limited regional flights. Founded in 2004, it became one of the prominent private carriers serving key destinations within Myanmar, including Yangon, Mandalay, and the historic Bagan region. The airline operated a mixed fleet of turboprop and jet aircraft suited to Myanmar's varied airport infrastructure. It served both business and leisure travelers, capitalizing on growing tourism interest in Myanmar during the 2010s. Air Bagan suspended operations around 2020, citing financial difficulties and a challenging aviation environment in Myanmar. Its cessation was part of a broader contraction in Myanmar's private aviation sector.
