Gateway to Kachin State in northern Myanmar.

Location

Myitkyina, Myanmar

Myitkyina Airport (IATA: MYT, ICAO: VYMK) serves Myitkyina, the capital of Kachin State in northern Myanmar. It is the primary commercial airport connecting this remote region to Yangon and Mandalay, playing a vital role in regional connectivity given the limited road and rail infrastructure in the area. The airport handles domestic flights operated by Myanmar's national and private carriers. Its strategic location near the confluence of the Mali and N'Mai rivers, which form the Irrawaddy River, makes it an important hub for trade, government, and humanitarian operations in the region. Due to ongoing armed conflict in parts of Kachin State, the airport has at times held strategic military significance as well as serving civilian passengers. Flight schedules and operations can be affected by regional security conditions.
