Remote airstrip serving Pakistan's restive North Waziristan region.

Location
Miram Shah, Pakistan
Miram Shah Airport (ICAO: OPMN) is a small airfield located near Miram Shah, the administrative headquarters of North Waziristan district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan. The airport primarily serves military and government operational needs in the region rather than scheduled civilian commercial aviation. North Waziristan has historically been a sensitive security zone, and the airport's usage has been closely tied to Pakistani military logistics and operations in the tribal belt. Commercial passenger services are extremely limited or non-existent at this facility. The surrounding region is remote and mountainous, reflecting the general infrastructure challenges of Pakistan's former Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), which were merged into Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in 2018.
Getting to & from
Ground access to Miram Shah town is via road, though security conditions in North Waziristan have historically restricted civilian movement in the area.
