Heho Airport is a Myanmar Department of Civil Aviation-operated field in the highlands of Shan State, best known as the gateway airfield for the Inle Lake area. It sits at a notably high elevation of 3,888 feet and offers a single long, lit hard-surfaced runway, making it a straightforward if lofty VFR destination for pilots exploring eastern Myanmar.
Heho Airport (ICAO VYHH, IATA HEH) is a medium-sized regional airport at Heho in Shan State, Myanmar, offering scheduled airline service and serving as the principal air link for travellers heading into the surrounding highlands. For a visiting sim pilot the field is notable chiefly for its high elevation and long single runway, both of which are worth factoring into approach and performance planning.
The airfield lies at Heho, Shan State, Myanmar, at coordinates 20.747, 96.792. It sits at a field elevation of 3,888 feet above mean sea level, making it one of the higher-altitude airports in the region and a factor to bear in mind for density altitude and climb performance when planning a flight in or out.
Heho has a single physical runway orientated 18/36, surfaced in hard standing (concrete or asphalt) and lit, with a length of 8,487 feet. This generous length comfortably accommodates a range of aircraft types, from light training aircraft up to airline traffic.
No air-ground or approach frequencies are published for Heho, and the field is not equipped with an ILS. Pilots planning a visit should expect to operate under basic procedural arrangements rather than radar or instrument-approach support.
Heho continues to handle scheduled airline services into Shan State. As with many regional Myanmar aerodromes, pilots planning a visit should anticipate that prior permission is required before arrival.
