Department for Civil Aviation (DCA) instructed operators from international airports to buy aircraft removal equipment to be easier to move the disabled aircraft from the runway, said Deputy Director General Ye Htut Aung from the DCA.

It will make not to delay the flights if the accident occurs.

Flights were delayed for 19 hours as an Y8 military transport plane skidded off the runway in Yangon International Airport (YIA) on September 5 and the airport reopened at 6 am the next morning, sources said.

The plane skidded off the runway as its left side engine failed before the take-off. 

Inbound flights were suspended for hours and only outbound flights are allowed.

However 12 ATR planes from domestic flights, which were waiting at domestic airports, were landed at the YIA after airport authorities made an effort to allow them as soon as possible.

A total of 32 flights from 17 international airlines cannot land or take off at the YIA due to the closure of the airport.
