Bagan (Nyaung U) Airport closing for 12 days?

I just received notification from an OTA that all flights to/from Bagan are cancelled from 11 January to 23 January for airport renovation.

Has anyone else seen anything about this?

I thought that this was the high season in Myanmar, and would have thought it highly improbable that a 12-day closure of the only airport near to the most touristic city in the country would be scheduled for the high season.

Any confirmation would be very much appreciated. TIA!

I have not heard anything about this but having lived here for several years I would not be surprised if they had scheduled this during the high season.

All of the airports there are in major need of improvement (except maybe the capital).

Apparently there are buses now from Yangon to Bagan that are supposed to be OK.
