Myitkyina Airport — Myitkyina, Myanmar

Myitkyina Airport (MYT) serves Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State in northern Myanmar, near the confluence of the Mali and N'mai rivers that form the Irrawaddy. The airport is a vital domestic gateway for this remote, mountainous region, connecting it to Yangon and Mandalay since overland travel can be slow and, at times, restricted due to regional security conditions. MYT has a single runway and modest terminal facilities typical of secondary Myanmar airports. It supports trade, jade-mining commerce, and administrative travel for Kachin State, as well as limited tourism to nearby areas along the upper Irrawaddy valley.
