Gateway to the Myeik Archipelago in southern Myanmar.

Location
Myeik, Myanmar
Myeik Airport (IATA: MGZ, ICAO: VYME) is a domestic airport serving Myeik, a coastal city in the Tanintharyi Region of southern Myanmar. The airport connects the city to Yangon and other domestic destinations, supporting the region's fishing industry and tourism related to the Myeik Archipelago. The airport operates modest facilities suited to its regional traffic levels. It is served by domestic carriers offering scheduled flights primarily to Yangon, making air travel the most practical option given Myeik's relative isolation by road from the rest of Myanmar. Myeik itself is known for its pearls and seafood, and the surrounding archipelago of over 800 islands draws growing interest from eco-tourists and divers. The airport plays a key logistical role in connecting this remote area to the broader national transport network.
