Myanmar tenders three domestic airports
The Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) of Myanmar has launched a tender process for three domestic airports.
The DCA, under the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Myanmar, has invited Expression of Interest (EOI) for the development, financing and operations of the three airports, which will be implemented under a PPP scheme.
The three airports are:
- Heho Airport
- Kawthaung Airport
- Mawlamyine Airport
The deadline for express interest in the project is in October, 10.
IFC will assist in the upgrade of Kawthaung Airport to boost regional tourism.
U Ye Htut Aung, deputy director general of DCA , stated:
“We intend to upgrade Kawthaung, Mawlamyine and Heho airports, so they can transform into major domestic airports. But that requires a lot of investment. Hence, we will discuss with developers and discussions will start from an initial stage. The capacity of airports depends on how much investment the infrastructure can receive”
