Loikaw Airport — Loikaw, Myanmar

Loikaw Airport serves the town of Loikaw, capital of Kayah State in eastern Myanmar, set in the hills near the border with Thailand. At an elevation of about 2,940 feet, it has a single bitumen runway near 5,200 feet, connecting this remote state capital to Yangon and other domestic points. Kayah is one of Myanmar's smallest and least-visited states, a mountainous area home to diverse ethnic communities. Air links help bridge the difficult terrain that makes overland travel slow across the eastern hills. The LIW code identifies this field, serving the Loikaw area of highland Kayah State in eastern Myanmar.
