Overview
This logistics capacity assessment does not include review of military airports.
Myanmar has three international airports: Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyitaw, of which Yangon has most handling capacity for passengers and cargo. Mandalay and Naypyitaw airport normally don’t handle cargo (except luggage) and have few international flights. There is a limited number of helicopter companies available, who mainly operate for the natural gas and oil industry and avoid to fly cargo at high altitudes in the mountains. Obtaining permission, registration and certification for foreign registered aircraft to operate inside Myanmar for emergencies can be a lengthy and complicated process.

2.2.2 Myanmar Mandalay International Airport
Airport Overview
Mandalay International Airport (MDL), one of three international airports in Myanmar, was opened on Sept 2000. Mandalay International Airport is located 35 km south of Mandalay city, in Tada-U Township. The airport has been designed to handle up to 3 million passengers annually. It has an apron of 610 by 240m (14.64 ha) attached to the terminal building. The terminal building has six bays with boarding bridges of which three can handle Boeing 747-400 aircraft (three for category E and three for category D aircraft) and 11 remote parking stands. There are seven international airlines (Air Asia, Bangkok Airways, China Eastern, SilkAir, Thai airways, Thai Smile, Myanmar Airways Int’l) and seven domestic airlines (Myanmar National Airline, Air KBZ, MANN Yadanarpon airlines, Golden Myanmar Airlines, Air Thanlwin, Asian Wings Airways, Myanmar Airways International) providing regular flights to Mandalay airport. The airport experienced an increase in traffic, especially daily flights from/to China and Bangkok. Domestic passenger traffic through Mandalay has been increasing by 20% every year, while growth in international flights has been growing up to 60% annually. A consortium of Mitsubishi Group and an affiliate from Japan Airlines signed a concession agreement in 2014 with the Myanmar government to operate the airport for 30 years. The joint firm, called MC-Jalux started operations in April 2015 and does the operation, rehabilitation and maintenance of airport facilities, including terminal buildings and runway.
In January 2020, a plan was put in place between Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation and NEC Corporation for the installation and operation of airport surveillance radar (ASR), secondary surveillance radar (SSR) and a multi-sensor data processing system (MSDPS) to increase the efficiency and safety of air traffic control services by October 2020. This is in anticipation of the expansion of economic activities and growing arrivals of international passengers due to the on-going visa requirement relaxation scheme[1]. The equipment will be delivered through the Official Development Assistance (ODA) by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
Landing approval for unscheduled international flights has to be normally requested in writing from the Department of Civil Aviation in Yangon 14 days in advance. However, in case of emergencies, the airline carrier may contact the Area Control Center in Mandalay by radio, and they will contact the Department of Civil Aviation in Mandalay to obtain approval. With this fast track process landing approval may be obtained as quick as within 30 minutes.

2.2.9 Myanmar Magway Airport
Airport Overview
The Magway Airport was constructed on 818.82 acres of land. It was opened on 6 June 2003 but was operational only for a few years. Since 2006, no airplane has landed in the region and the airport has been mainly used by the military for training (Magway Airforce Training Center) located on the opposite side of the runway. At the request of the Magway Regional Government, the Ministry of Transport and Communications resumed flight service starting from May 2019. Only Myanmar National Airline is currently operating Yangon-Magway and Magway-Sittwe twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. The runway includes a taxiway. Based on the above assessment, Magway airport is not ideal to be used in humanitarian response operation. Magway itself is generally accessible by road transportation.

2.2.10 Myanmar Pakokku Airport
Airport Overview
This airport is currently not in use. Chartered flights from civilian and government VIP’s also rarely landed at this airport. The airport is located 11km North of town. Condition of the runway is good, condition of the terminal building and control tower is good, although it needs some minor repairs and cleaning.
Following Bagan’s recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the possibility of direct international route to Nyaung-U Airport was raised by international airlines but rejected by Ministry of Transport and Communication considering that Nyaung Oo Airport is closely located to the Bagan archaeological zone. Based on the current planning, Nyaung Oo Airport is not intended to handle international flights. Therefore, the Ministry of Transport and Communication is planning to upgrade Pakokku Airport to an international airport in future since the airport area has enough land space to upgrade.
Since the airport is situated at the center of Myanmar, it could be a suitable location for a humanitarian cargo hub or open space for temporary shelters, in case of a large-scale emergency such as earthquake in Magway region and central Myanmar. If there is a need to use this airport for humanitarian purposes, approval would need to be obtained from the Department of Civil Aviation in Yangon. The largest plane that can be handled is medium-sized 100-seat planes such as EMB-190 / B-717.

2.2.11 Myanmar Nyaung-U Airport
Airport Overview
The airport is located 4.5km southeast of Nyaung-U town in the Mandalay Region. It is the primary air gateway to the ancient sites of Bagan and surrounding areas. The airport is mainly used for tourism and normally no cargo is handled at this airport. There are 7 domestic airlines that fly to Nyaung Oo from/to Yangon, Mandalay, Heho and Thandwe: (Myanmar National Airline, Air KBZ, MANN Yadanarpon Airlines, Golden Myanmar Airlines, Air Thanlwin, Asian Wings Airways, Myanmar Airways International). Condition of the runway is good.
There are no international airlines since this is a regional airport. There are 6 to 7 daily regular flights during the low tourist season and up to about 20 daily flights during the peak tourist season. There is no helipad. The airport area is divided into civilian operations as well as for military purpose under the control of Middle regional command. The largest plane that can be handled are medium-sized 100-seat planes such as EMB-190 / B-717. There is no storage facility at the airport complex, however, there are some potential storage facilities in nearby town of Nyaung-U and Pakokku (Please refer to 2.6 Myanmar Storage Assessment.)
After Bagan’s recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site, direct international flights to Nyaung-U Airport were proposed by International Airlines but the request was rejected by Ministry of Transport and Communication since Nyaung Oo airport is closely located to Bagan archaeological zone and it is not intended to handle international flights. Department of Civil Aviation is carrying out renovation work on airport terminal to enable it to handle more passengers and working on a parallel plan to upgrade the nearby Pakokku Airport, given the available ground space for expansion.

Airport Overview
The Mandalay Chanmyathazi airport is being used for small aircraft only (Cessna). Currently only Myanmar Air is using it for flights twice a week from Yangon, on Monday and Tuesday. It is not used for private flights.
There is railway multi-modal capacity nearby with a container gantry crane.

If there is a need to use this airport for humanitarian purposes approval would need to be obtained from the Department of Civil Aviation in Yangon.

2.2.23 Myanmar Sittwe Airport
Airport Overview
Sittwe Airport started as RAF Station Sittwe, a military airfield in World War II, and was handed over to Department of Civil Aviation by the International Aero Limited Company on 24 July 1947. It was upgraded to 6,000 feet long and 140 feet wide gravel mixed asphalt runway in 1960. The airport building was extended to 220 feet by 60 feet from 120 feet by 60 feet and it was opened on 22 March 2002. A four-foot thick asphalt concrete layer was placed on the 6000 x 150 feet runway, the 525 x 75 feet taxiway and the 600 x 300 feet apron and opened on 20 May 2009 for use of F-28 jets. There are five domestic airlines (Golden Myanmar, Air KBZ, Mann Yadarnarpon, Air Thanlwin and Myanmar National Airlines) providing regular flights to Sittwe airport. There is no specified helipad but landing arrangement can be made at apron area.
The largest plane that can be handled is medium-sized 100-seat planes such as the Airbus A320. It is equipped with night landing facilities such as airfield lighting, approach light and remote-control air ground machines. Sittwe Airport handled around 432,000 passengers in 2019. Some private international airlines for offshore projects had been used at Sittwe since 2004 as a base with one fixed wing and one helicopter. It is feasible to use as a humanitarian hub, however a special arrangement needs to be coordinated with DCA and temporary storage facility options need to be looked at since there is limited storage space and ground handling equipment on the ground.

2.2.24 Myanmar Thandwe Airport
Airport Overview
Thandwe, formerly known as Sandoway, is the largest city in the area and the main gateway to Ngapali Beach. Thandwe Airport has undergone several upgrades in the past. A 500 foot runway extension work at the north portion was completed and the available length (6000 x100 feet) has been operational since August 2010. Another 2000 feet was extended and completed in May 2011 to bring it to 8000 feet. The government planned to expand the runway further to allow international flights and larger commercial planes to land. Currently, it is only able to service ATR 72/500. There are 54 flights on 4 different routes from Thandwe Airport. The most popular routes connect Thandwe to Yangon, Sittwe, Mandalay, and Kyauk Phyu. Better flight connections to international markets is expected to benefit the fisheries industry in the area as the current export practice requires frozen sea products to be shipped to international markets via Yangon.

2.2.25 Myanmar Bhamo Airport
Airport Overview
Bhamo (Banmaw) is a city in the Kachin State in northern Myanmar. Bhamo Airport was built as a Japanese Air Force base in 1942 and was attacked numerous times by Allied forces before being seized in May 1945. Bhamo Airport is in the north east of the country, close to the Chinese border, south of Myitkyina. It is currently operational for civilian use. During the assessment, only one airline company, Myanmar Airways, flies four times per week from Yangon to Bhamo Airport. The flight is scheduled every Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday round trip from Yangon to Bhamo via Mandalay and Myitkyina.
Currently the Embraer 190 is the maximum airplane size that can land in Bhamo. Myanmar Airways operates basic cargo handling for passengers’ luggage. There are no special cargo handling equipment available, only five cargo trolleys. Max weight runway 3000 pounds. The airport has a basic CCTV security system in place. A walkthrough metal detector, an X-ray machine for hand-luggage and a Handheld metal detector.
Given the conditions and extremely limited services available at Bhamo Airport, Myitkyina Airport (20 minutes flight time away from Bhamo) is more suitable for humanitarian operations.
