Mandalay International Airport

Mandalay International Airport (VYMD) is a large airport in Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma). Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code VYMD or IATA code MDL. It sits in Asia.

Mandalay International Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Mandalay International Airport sits near sea level at 300 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Yangon. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess inventory for VYMD updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in Myanmar (Burma), VYMD tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Mandalay International Airport, located 35 km south of Mandalay in Tada-U, is one of three international airports in Myanmar. Completed in 1999, it replaced the old Mandalay Chanmyathazi Airport as the city's main airport and it was the largest and most modern airport in the country until the modernization of Yangon International Airport in 2008. The airport connects 11 domestic and seven international destinations. Its 4,267 m (14,000 ft) runway is the longest runway in use in Southeast Asia and has the capacity to handle up to 3 million passengers a year.
