Flights to Mandalay
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Mandalay is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Mandalay International Airport (MDL), 32 km (20 mi) from the centre, whose 14,003-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mandalay International Airport | MDL | 32 km (20 mi) | 14,003 ft | 300 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 14,003 ft, MDL can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 300 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
