Asiana Airlines has launched a new route between Seoul, South Korea, and Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma. Asiana Airlines now operates two flights per week, departing from Incheon Airport at 19:30 every Wednesday and Saturday and arriving in Yangon at 23:40 local time.

Troops in South Korea have mistakenly opened fire on an Asiana operated passenger jet, in the belief it was a North Korean aircraft. A total of 99 rifle rounds were fired at the passenger jet, all of which failed to hit the target.

Asiana will offer its passengers the convenience of electronic ticketing, using Amadeus ETS.  Asiana, a pioneer in the field of electronic bookings in Asia, joins All Nippon Airways (ANA) and 9 other carriers globally, using Amadeus Electronic Ticket Server (ETS).
