Current status: is the Kolkata–Yangon route operating?
Check before you book. This corridor has thinned out: IndiGo ended its Kolkata–Yangon non-stop in 2023, and direct service since has been limited, currently a few flights a week on Myanmar Airways International (8M), with schedules that can change at short notice. Beyond the timetable, the bigger issue is safety: since the 2021 military takeover, Myanmar has seen continuing conflict and unrest, and governments including the US, UK, Australia and others have issued strong travel warnings, in some cases advising against all travel. Treat any fare as provisional, confirm the flight is operating, follow your government's advisory, and consider whether the trip is advisable at all. The FlightGPT chat can pull the live position.
Airlines & routing
When it operates, the non-stop is flown by Myanmar Airways International (8M), blocking about 1h 50m on the short eastward hop from Kolkata. If the direct flight does not suit your dates — or is not running — the usual alternative is a 1-stop routing via Bangkok, pairing a Kolkata–BKK leg (Thai Airways, IndiGo, Thai AirAsia) with an onward Bangkok–Yangon sector. Other connections via a regional hub are possible but less common. Given the volatility, book on a single ticket where you can for protected connections, buy flexible or refundable fares, and verify the Yangon leg is actually operating before paying.
Fares & booking
Pricing is unsettled because supply is thin and demand is suppressed by the security situation. As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares — when flights are available — have run very roughly ₹18,000–38,000 on the non-stop or a 1-stop via Bangkok, but expect limited choice and swings. Prioritise refundable or changeable fares over the lowest price, confirm the operating status, and take out travel insurance that covers cancellation and disruption. Because this is a route where conditions can shift quickly, avoid non-refundable bookings far ahead. Indicative only — check live availability and what is actually flying in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing detail
The great-circle distance from Kolkata to Yangon is only about 920 km, so the non-stop is genuinely short at roughly 1h 50m — the aircraft tracks east across the Bay of Bengal and the Arakan coast. A 1-stop routing via Bangkok is far longer end to end, typically 7–10 hours including the layover and the backtrack east, since Bangkok lies beyond Yangon. Yangon is 1 hour ahead of India (Myanmar runs on a UTC+6:30 half-hour zone), a small offset to remember when reading timetables. Whichever way you go, build in flexibility, as schedules and operating status can change.
Airports & terminals
Kolkata (CCU) — Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International uses a single integrated terminal for domestic and international flights, about 15 km north-east of the city; use the international check-in and immigration channels. Yangon (RGN) — Yangon International is Myanmar's main gateway, about 15 km north of the city centre, with international flights mainly using Terminal 1. In the current climate, verify your flight's terminal and operating status close to departure, keep documents and your eVisa printout handy, and allow extra time, as procedures and conditions on the ground can be unpredictable.
Visa & entry for Indians
Indian passport holders need a visa for Myanmar, arranged in advance — the standard route is the Myanmar eVisa (tourist), applied for online at the official portal evisa.moip.gov.mm. It typically costs around US$50, allows a stay of up to 28 days, and is usually approved within a few working days, so apply about 10–14 days ahead. You must enter through an approved port such as Yangon. Carry a printed eVisa and a passport valid at least six months. Critically, also follow your government's travel advisory before committing — advisories urge serious caution. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.
A note on safety & timing
In settled times, the most comfortable season for Yangon and lower Myanmar is the cooler, drier November to February window, avoiding the hot March–May months and the May–October monsoon. For 2026, however, the dominant consideration is safety, not the season. Myanmar has ongoing armed conflict and civil unrest, and several governments advise against travel, citing risks including unrest, arbitrary detention and limited consular help. Check the latest official advisory, register your travel if you do go, and only proceed if conditions are deemed safe and your flight is confirmed operating.
