There are also interesting regional small airports in Myanmar that can also be added to Myanmar Region.
-Thandwe Airport (VYTD)
Thandwe airport is small regional costal airport which the runway is narrow and located near the sea making it challenging and rewarding after landing due to its costal views on approach. (you can search Thandwe landing videos or photos online). Currently airport only support ATR72, ATR42, E190 and small aircrafts. Thandwe Airport is the primary gateway to Ngapali Beach in Rakhine State. The single asphalt runway (02/20) is approximately 8,500 feet long. From the air, you can see it positioned parallel to the coastline, providing a "bird's-eye view" of the turquoise water just before touchdown.
-Bagan (Nyaung U) Airport (VYBG)
Nyaung U Airport (NYU) serves as the primary gateway to the Bagan Archaeological Zone, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has a single asphalt runway (18/36) approximately 8,500 feet long.
Unlike the coastal vibe of Thandwe or the highland patchwork of Heho, Bagan's airport is defined by its role as a portal to an ancient "lost world" of thousands of pagodas. The "Valley of Pagodas" Approach: Flying into Nyaung U offers a breathtaking "bird’s-eye view" of the vast Bagan plains. You can see the red-brick spires of over 2,200 surviving temples and stupas stretching toward the Ayeyarwady River. Pagoda-Style Terminal: From the air and the ground, the terminal stands out with its traditional Burmese architecture, featuring multi-tiered roofs and wooden elements styled after a Burmese pagoda. Situated in Myanmar's "Dry Zone," the aerial view is often characterized by golden-brown earth and sparse vegetation, a sharp contrast to the lush green hills of Heho.yanmar Region.
