Flying In/Out of Yangon International Airport (Myanmar)

Yangon International Airport / ရန်ကုန်အပြည်ပြည်ဆိုင်ရာလေဆိပ် is the primary and busiest international airport of Myanmar. The airport is located in Mingaladon, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) north of central Yangon. All ten Myanmar carriers and about 30 international airlines operate at Yangon International Airport. The airport is also colloquially known as Mingaladon Airport due to its location. In August 2014, the old domestic terminal was demolished and construction began for the new six-story Yangon International Airport Terminal 1 to handle international flights. The opening ceremony was held on March 12, 2016. After the opening of Terminal 1, the airport can handle 6 million passengers annually, as opposed to 2.7 million before. The newer Yangon International Airport terminal is very nice but you need to be careful walking on the mislaid carpet - 2 years ago when my foot was slightly sprained, I nearly tripped. There is Burger King, Swenson's, KFC etc a Kinokuniya book store (from Japan) and a bunch of highend shops..... http://yangonairport.aero/airport-directory-terminal-1/
