The story
The airline was established in June 2010 as Air Kanbawza by KBZ Group of Companies, then owned by Aung Ko Win. The airline began operations with domestic scheduled services from Yangon, Myanmar on 2 April 2011. In 2015 Air KBZ began codesharing international flights with its partner Myanmar Airways International, and on 2 December 2016, Air KBZ itself expanded internationally, launching its first scheduled service outside Myanmar with flights connecting Yangon and Chiang Mai in neighboring Thailand.
In late 2018, 24 Hour Group, owned by Aung Aung Zaw, bought Air KBZ. In December 2023, KBZ completed its exit from Air KBZ. On 6 January 2024, the new owner launched a rebranding initiative, renaming the airline to Mingalar Aviation Services ("Mingalar").
