Noticed that Air Bagan, who have 3 ATR's flying out of Yangon have not been appearing on the flightstats Arrivals/Departures screen for some time- only Myanmar Airways and Air Mandalay have been doing the reduced summer internal schedules.
Recently "West Caribbean Airways" under the code YH have appeared on a daily basis.
Anyone out there know what is going on.
I believe two of the ATR's of Air Bagan are being repaired after bumps so is this one standing in?
And who/what is it?
Searching the web shows that West Caribbean closed down in 2005 after a dismal accident history.

YH is the new IATA code for Yangon Air.

New IATA Designator Code of Yangon Airways (http://www.yangonair.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=55:new-iata-designator-code-of-yangon-airways&catid=14:latest-news)

Many thanks.
Aircraft obviously previously with West Caribbean-bit worrying as I will be flying as a PAX on 3 sectors with Yangon Air later this year.
