## Description

Ground handling and customs work at Yangon International Airport (RGN/VYYY) runs through a short list of local specialists, JSID among them, with Korean Air Cargo also represented — which matters, because this is Myanmar's principal international airport, served by roughly 14 airlines, and it concentrates almost all of the country's air freight. Cargo moves through the Mingaladon Cargo Terminal, whose customs warehouse offers about 536 m² (2,867 m³) of storage including cold rooms, with bonded storage possible for up to two weeks. Most volume travels as belly cargo on passenger flights; regular dedicated freighter operations are not confirmed. Capacity is therefore limited and variable, and early booking is advisable. Myanmar requires import or export licences from the Ministry of Commerce for many commodity groups, and foreign exchange rules change frequently, so documentation should be clarified with the consignee before shipping. On the land side, Yangon connects by road to Yangon Port and the Thilawa Special Economic Zone, supporting air-sea combinations; rail plays little role in freight. Operational and regulatory conditions in Myanmar can change at short notice, and sanctions screening belongs in every booking process. Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Singapore (SIN) are the usual staging points, with Mandalay (MDL) as the domestic alternative.
