Air Bagan's Humanitarian Work
We would like to greet you in a very unique way. In
fact, “Mingalabar” is a typical Myanmar traditional
way of greeting, being interpreted in many ways.
However, literally it means, “ May your day be
auspicious”.
Right now, temporarily, the Journey may be bumpy,
seatbelts may need to be tightened, especially when
the weather is not favorable but Air Bagan is always
ready to render its best services and willing to
provide the needs of people in whatever situation.
Against the backdrop of Cyclone Nargis , Air Bagan
has witnessed its commitment to the humanitarian
cause, and its contribution and activities have
proven the fact that “ actions speck louder than
words”.
Since the country was hit by Cyclone Nargis, Air
Bagan team, like other organizations, is actively
participating in humanitarian work for people who
suffered.
Under Htoo Group of Companies, our mother company,
we will spend at least USD 1 million on humanitarian
work on people who suffered. Also we have
contributed K1000 million to national campaign that
would help the victims of Nargis Cyclone and
rebuilding the effected area.
In Yangon, we help clearing roads blocked with big
trees and lamp posts, using big machines such as
cranes and trucks. Drinking water is distributed
daily with 1500-gallons cars to Yangon townships and
we help rebuilding schools. Food and beverages are
provided to the volunteers working on the roads.
We take care of Bogalay region and have been sending
relief team and trucks carrying supply of rice,
cooking oil, medicine, drinking water, clothes and
blankets and distributed to the victims directly. We
set up mobile clinics with number of doctors
providing much-needed medical assistance in the
villages.
Most importantly, we are offering the public from
both inside and outside of the country, who have
difficulties sending aid to the affected regions,
that we will carry the aid free of charge on our
international and domestic flights, depending on
available space on each flights.
On top of that, for the long term plan, Air Bagan
has now raised its contributions from US$ 1 to US$ 2
from every international ticket sold and Myanmar
Kyat 500 to 1000 from every domestic ticket sold for
the relief and resettlement programs for Cyclone
Nargis disaster. In deed, you have made the right
choice of flying with us because of by doing so you
have already contributed to the people in need. In
fact, these good deeds simply reflect the
essence/spirit of our traditional greeting- “Mingalabar”.
