Qatar Airways has announced it is to cease its four times a week service to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, from January 9 for 'commercial' reasons, reported Reuters. But travel agents in the military-ruled country claim the flights are usually very full and feel the decision is due to political pressure from western nations after Myanmar clamped down on pro-democracy protests. Qatar Airways launched its Doha-Yangon route in December 2004.
