New Magway Airport

Common Complaints

• Limited Facilities and Amenities: A major point of dissatisfaction is the absence of many standard airport facilities. There are no hotels, restaurants, banks, post offices, medical facilities, or tourist offices within the airport.
• No Organized Transportation/Parking: The airport explicitly states no dedicated transportation services and also no listed fuelling or ground handling services. While parking information is mentioned in one source, detailed availability or quality is not provided, and the lack of organized transportation is a significant drawback.
• Infrequent Flights and Limited Routes: Operations are limited, with only one airline (Myanmar National Airlines) serving two domestic routes (Yangon and Sittwe) twice a week. This restricts travel options and flexibility.
• No Wi-Fi or Lounge Services: Aggregated traveler ratings indicate lower satisfaction for Wi-Fi (59%) and lounge services (55%), suggesting these are either non-existent or inadequate.

Magway Airport (MWQ/VYMW) serves primarily as a no-frills, essential transport hub for the Magway region. Travelers should expect a straightforward process for security and check-in, but must plan for minimal to no amenities within the terminal and arrange their own transportation to and from the airport due to the lack of organized services.
