Mingalar Aviation Services (Burmese: မင်္ဂလာ လေကြောင်းပို့ဆောင်ရေးလုပ်ငန်း) formerly known as Air Kanbawza or Air KBZ, is a privately owned domestic airline in Myanmar based in Yangon. It was established in June 2010 as Air Kanbawza and officially rebranded itself as Mingalar on 6 January 2024.[1] The airline began operations with domestic scheduled services from Yangon, Myanmar on 2 April 2011.[2] In 2015 Air KBZ began codesharing international flights with its partner Myanmar Airways International, and on 2 December 2016 Air KBZ itself expanded internationally, launching its first scheduled service outside Myanmar with flights connecting Yangon and Chiang Mai in neighboring Thailand.[3]
In December 2023, KBZ completed its exit from Air KBZ. On January 6, 2024, the new owner launched a rebranding initiative, renaming the airline to Mingalar Aviation Services ("Mingalar").[4]
