What MAA to RGN looks like
The MAA to RGN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Chennai MAA to Yangon RGN is a medium haul sector of 1,769 km by great circle, flown nonstop 2 times a week.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,769 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 46m.
Chennai MAA is a mid sized airport in the network held here, 58 scheduled destinations and 160.7 departures a day. Yangon RGN has 33 destinations and 44.1 departures a day.
Chennai carries about 3.6 times the departures of Yangon, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Yangon is one hour ahead of Chennai all year.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on MAA to RGN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAA to RGN | 0.29 | 2 | Myanmar Airways International |
| RGN to MAA | 0.29 | 2 | Myanmar Airways International |
One carrier holds the sector, Myanmar Airways International, so a cancellation has no second nonstop behind it and the connections below stop being theoretical.
At 2 times a week the nonstop is thin enough that a consignment which misses it waits days rather than hours, which is the case for reading the routings below before promising anything.
Between them the two directions put about 4.1 departures a week on MAA to RGN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 46m block time on MAA to RGN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to MAA | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At MAA before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| MAA to RGN in the air, estimated | 166 min | 7h 16m |
| Formalities at RGN | 90 min | 8h 46m |
| Delivery run in Yangon | 45 min | 9h 31m |
| Door to door | 571 min | 9h 31m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for MAA to RGN is 9h 31m.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 7 of them join MAA to RGN.
| Connecting at | MAA to hub, flights a day | Hub to RGN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kolkata CCU | 8 | 0.57 | 2,413 | 5h 05m |
| Bangkok DMK | 1.14 | 4.29 | 2,796 | 5h 41m |
| Bangkok BKK | 2.14 | 11.86 | 2,838 | 6h 00m |
| Kuala Lumpur KUL | 5.14 | 2.29 | 4,317 | 7h 45m |
| Singapore SIN | 6.14 | 5.43 | 4,857 | 8h 27m |
7 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Kolkata CCU, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through CCU the routing covers 2,413 km against the 1,769 km nonstop track and takes about 5h 05m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 19m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Bangkok DMK at 5h 41m and Bangkok BKK at 6h 00m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for MAA to RGN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
