## Description

Most freight crossing here moves by boat across the Pakchan estuary to Thailand's Ranong, not through the air: Kawthoung Airport (IATA: KAW) sits at Myanmar's southernmost point and handles domestic passenger flights only, with carriers such as Myanmar National Airlines and Myanmar Airways International. There is no cargo terminal. Air shipments for the area route via Yangon International (RGN). KAW is a passenger and border-tourism gateway rather than a logistics point.
