Flights to Sittwe
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Sittwe is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sittwe Airport (AKY), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,001 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sittwe Airport (regional) | AKY | 3 km (2 mi) | 6,001 ft | 27 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,001 ft, AKY handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 27 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
