## Description

A customs-bonded warehouse with cold rooms and roughly 536 square metres of temperature-controlled space sits beside the cargo terminal at Yangon International Airport (IATA: RGN), where goods can be held duty-free for up to two weeks. As Myanmar's primary and busiest international airport, RGN in Mingaladon township — about 15 kilometres north of central Yangon — handles the bulk of the country's air freight. Mingalardon Cargo Services (MCS), part of the Htoo Group, is the sole cargo handler, covering import and export processing, labelling and palletisation. Around 30 international airlines serve the airport, with belly capacity forming the backbone and carriers such as Korean Air Cargo lifting freight from Yangon. Garments from the expanding textile sector, agricultural produce and seafood dominate exports, while machinery, electronics and pharmaceuticals lead the inbound flows. Myanmar Customs clears shipments on site. The Port of Yangon lies within the metropolitan area, opening sea-air options via the Andaman Sea. Political instability and sanctions since 2021 continue to weigh on capacity and international connectivity.
