## Description

Jade defines the economy around Myitkyina, the Kachin State capital in Myanmar's far north, close to the Hpakant mines that supply much of the world's jadeite. Myitkyina Airport (IATA: MYT) operates domestic flights to Mandalay and Yangon but has no cargo handling. The lucrative jade trade flows largely overland to China, while air freight for the region routes via Mandalay (MDL). MYT is a passenger field for forwarders.
