Pauk Airport (PAU)

Pauk Airport (PAU) is a small domestic aviation facility serving the town of Pauk in the Magway Region of central Myanmar. The airport features a single, modest passenger terminal building that was originally designed to handle regional travel within the Irrawaddy River basin. However, as of early 2026, the facility does not host regular scheduled commercial airline services and primarily functions as a base for government transport and occasional private charters. The terminal infrastructure is minimal and focused on essential operations, providing a basic sheltered waiting area and limited passenger processing space. While the building lacks modern commercial amenities like retail shops, restaurants, or currency exchange desks, it serves as a critical infrastructure link for this rural part of the country. Travelers and pilots are advised to be completely self-sufficient and to handle all logistical and dining needs in the nearby Pauk town center. The airfield features a single 4,500-foot runway (08/26) situated at an elevation of 249 feet. Ground transportation to central Pauk is informal, with visitors generally relying on pre-arranged private vehicle access or local taxis. Due to its remote location and current status, civilian travelers are generally advised to utilize larger regional hubs like Nyaung-U (NYU) in Bagan or Magway Airport (MWQ) and complete their journey to Pauk by road.
