Nok Air (DD, Bangkok Don Mueang) CEO Patee Sarasin has told CAPA that Nok Air plans to launch a daily service from its home base at Bangkok's Don Mueang airport to Yangon using B737-800s in the third quarter of 2013 as its first international route. Nok Air also plans to serve Mawlamyine as the first international carrier, likely using Saab 340Bs of regional partner Siam General Aviation (Bangkok Suvarnabhumi) as an extension of one of the five daily Saab 340B services between Don Mueang and Mae Sot.
