The reception was held at Mingalar Sky Lounge Terminal 3, and graced by the Department of Civil Aviation's Director-General U Min Lwin and Deputy Director U Ye Htut Aung, YIA's airline partners, business partners, and the YIA team. Yangon Aerodrome Company Limited (YACL), operator of YIA, expressed gratitude for the partners' continuing support and help in growing tourism and civil aviation in Myanmar.
