The airport sits about 2 km northeast of Loikaw city centre and handles scheduled domestic flights, mainly on Myanmar National Airlines and Air KBZ, with connections to Yangon and other domestic hubs. Its single compact terminal manages both arrivals and departures in a simple, easy-to-navigate layout.
