EI EI THU 25 MAY 2018

The Emirates Airlines said the safety of the passengers is its primary concern, after being warned by the Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation that one of its plane had strayed into a no-fly-zone earlier this week.

The safety of our passengers, crew and our operations will always be our top priority,” an airline spokesperson said via an email to The Myanmar Times on Wednesdday.“Emirates is aware of the report relating to Flight EK 388 and is providing full cooperation to the authorities in Myanmar on this matter,” the spokesperson said.



U Soe Paing, director of the department, said on Thursday that it had sent a warning letter to the airline for violating the country’s aviation regulations.

“We are waiting for the reply from Emirates,” he said.

The incident, which occurred on Sunday, involved Emirates Flight EK 388 bound for Phnom Penh from Yangon.

The pilot veered from its course because of bad weather and flew low through the airspace above Yangon, which is a no-fly zone.

Emirates started a daily service from Dubai to Yangon and Hanoi in August 2016. In July 2017, it began flying four days a week from Dubai to Yangon and Phnom Penh with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
