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.
