In 2001, Myanmar Post released its last Tourism Aerogramme, priced at 30 Kyats. Fast forward two decades, and no new aerogrammes have been issued to align with the evolving postal rates. While foreign aerogramme rates surged to 500 Kyats in 2011 and further to 1000 Kyats in 2017. In 2023, there was a increase in postage rates. However, it's noteworthy that the aerogramme rate persisted unchanged at 1000 Kyats.
Despite the overall rate hike, the aerogramme rate remained constant at 1000 Kyats. A example of this rate is displayed below. The aerogramme sent from Yangon to Singapore on October 16, 2023. Adhering to the correct foreign aerogramme rate, the sender affixed additional adhesives worth 1970 Kyats. This amounts to a staggering 33-fold increase compared to the original denomination, highlighting the significant adjustments in postage rates over the years.
