Myanmar's authorities announced on Monday a further extension of the restriction for operating international air services at the Yangon International Airport until Dec. 31, Xinhua reported.

The operator of the airport, the Yangon Aerodrome Company Limited (YACL), made the announcement in a notice, saying the extension was meant to support Myanmar's effective efforts to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Asian country.

Yangon International Airport remains committed to supporting the operation of repatriation, relief and cargo flights during this period, the notice added.
