Yangon Airways was established in 1996 as a joint venture between Myanma Airways and the Krong-Sombat Company of Thailand. In 1997, the MHE-Mayflower Company acquired the Krong-Sombat shares.[2] Myanmar May Flower Group was founded in 1991 by Kyaw Win, an ethnic Chinese, associated with Thai logging companies in the 1980s operating in the border area controlled by Khun Sa, and also with Vice-Senior General Maung Aye.[3][4]
