About Yangon International Airport

Overview

Yangon International Airport serves as the primary international gateway for Myanmar, located in the country's largest city. Situated at 109 feet above mean sea level, the airport handles significant commercial and passenger traffic for the Yangon metropolitan region. Its single runway (03/21) extends an impressive 11,200 feet, accommodating a wide range of aircraft types.

Flying Conditions

Yangon's tropical monsoon climate produces significant seasonal weather variations that pilots must carefully anticipate. The airport experiences distinct wet and dry seasons, with heavy rainfall potentially impacting visibility and runway conditions during the monsoon months. Pilots should be prepared for potential rapid weather changes and reduced visual conditions, particularly between May and October.

Notable Features

The airport's geographic position at 16.907301, 96.133202 places it in a coastal region with relatively flat surrounding terrain. Its elevation of 109 feet MSL provides a stable approach environment with minimal altitude-related performance considerations. The asphalted runway (11,200 ft) offers substantial landing and takeoff capabilities for most commercial and cargo aircraft.

Approach Considerations

Runway 03/21 provides a primary approach axis aligned with the local geographical orientation. Given the airport's coastal location, wind conditions can vary, potentially requiring careful wind assessment during approach and landing. Pilots should maintain standard instrument approach procedures and be prepared for potential crosswind conditions typical of the region's meteorological patterns.
