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.

According to the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism, 3.2 million international visitors, 38% of which came from China, arrived in Myanmar between January and November 2018, an increase of around 2% compared to the previous year. 945,000 Asian passengers arrived during the same period, with China contributing 260,000 of these visitors.
Mr. Ho Chee Tong, Chief Executive Officer of YACL, said, "We look forward to further cooperation with members of the aviation industry, and a better 2019.
