Sedoktayar Airport

Abandonment due to economic factors and lack of necessity. The facility was a basic, unpaved airstrip in a remote region. Such airfields are often built for specific, temporary purposes (e.g., government administration, resource exploration, or security) and are abandoned when they are no longer needed or when road access improves, making their maintenance economically unviable. There is no evidence to suggest it was closed due to a specific accident or for military conversion.

The site is completely abandoned and non-functional as an airfield. Satellite imagery of the coordinates (20.444466, 94.242377) clearly shows the former runway is heavily overgrown with vegetation and scrub. The land has effectively reverted to nature and is likely used by local residents for agriculture, grazing, or as a footpath. There are no visible remnants of airport infrastructure such as buildings, hangars, or navigational aids.

The 'airport' was a minor, rudimentary airstrip rather than a full-fledged commercial airport. Its historical role was likely limited to supporting light aircraft for government administrative travel, medical logistics, or supporting local development or resource extraction projects in the remote Sedoktayar Township of the Magway Region. Its simple design indicates it was intended for small, Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) aircraft and never handled scheduled passenger or significant cargo operations. The ICAO code 'MM-0012' is a non-standard identifier, often used for unofficial or private fields in Myanmar, further highlighting its minor, non-public role.

There are no known or published plans to reopen or redevelop the Sedoktayar airstrip. The complete degradation of the runway surface would necessitate a total reconstruction, which is a significant capital investment. Given the remote location, the lack of any apparent commercial or strategic demand, and the current economic and political situation in Myanmar, the prospect of reopening is virtually non-existent.
