Airport Overview
The construction of the Ann Airport runway was completed in 2003 with a control tower installed in 2008 for military purposes. The Ann airport is operating for military aircraft mainly, but started operating for civil aviation only after 2018. There are no international airlines serving this airport. Only Myanmar National Airlines operate in the Ann Airport with flights every Monday and Friday, mainly to serve government staff and other officials who need to attend meetings to other areas. There is a designated area with helicopter pads (50 x 50 ft) in place managed by the military. There are no cargo handling equipment facilities in this airport as it is mainly used for tourism. At this point, the airport only handles ATR 72-600 with the capacity of 70~80 seats.
Airport security, police network, CCTV, and military are in place. Available hand detector walk through x-ray for passenger screening and x-ray for luggage screening.
