Taxis are available but can be limited as Yongphulla is a small domestic airport. It is highly recommended to pre-arrange a taxi or a vehicle transfer through your hotel or tour operator before your arrival to ensure a pickup. The journey to the nearest major town, Trashigang, takes approximately 45-60 minutes.
Self-drive car rental services are not available for tourists in Bhutan, including at Yongphulla Airport. All tourist travel is required to be part of a pre-arranged tour package that includes a vehicle with a dedicated driver and guide. These arrangements must be made in advance through a licensed Bhutanese tour company.
There is no public bus system or other scheduled public transit that directly serves Yongphulla Airport. The only reliable methods of transportation to and from the airport are pre-booked private vehicles or taxis.
First build by Indian Army for military use, but never really piratically use of the strong wind and mostly closed weather. The runway build into the mountain and not flat, so the landing could be bumpy. The is no touch and go possible because another side of the runway is a mountain. In 2012-13 YON airport received schedule flight to Paro by DrukAir (KB) and promised but never flew Bhutan Airline. Now the airport is closed again because lack of passenger and uneven runway that could damage ATR-42 aircraft hull. Runway is being rebuild and schedule reopen is unknown. I personally took the flight out to Paro back in 2013, you can have a look here at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oTlJ55ePtw
