Kyaukpyu Airport — Kyaukpyu, Myanmar

Kyaukpyu Airport serves the coastal town of Kyaukpyu on Ramree Island in Myanmar's Rakhine State, on the Bay of Bengal in the country's west. At an elevation of about 20 feet, it has a single bitumen runway near 4,600 feet, connecting this remote coastal area to Yangon and other domestic points. Kyaukpyu has gained importance as a site for energy and port development along the Rakhine coast, tied to pipeline and deep-water projects. In a region where road access is limited and travel across Myanmar's terrain is difficult, air links matter. The KYP code identifies this field, serving a strategically noted town on the country's western seaboard.
