Htun Aung (Burmese: ထွန်းအောင်; pronounced [tʰʊ̀n àʊɴ]; born 1967) is a Burmese air force officer. He currently serves as the Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Air Force.




Military career


Htun Aung graduated from the 29th batch of the Defence Services Academy. In 2020, he sat on the board of directors of Myanma Economic Holdings Limited, a military-owned conglomerate.
On 12 January 2022, Htun Aung was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Air Force, succeeding Maung Maung Kyaw, who was forced to retire from the military. Prior to his promotion, he served as Maung Maung Kyaw's chief of staff.
In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the Burmese military has launched airstrikes against anti-regime resistance forces and civilians. On 30 June 2022, under Htun Aung's command, a Burmese fighter jet violated Thai airspace after flying 4–5 kilometres (2.5–3.1 mi) into Phop Phra district in Thailand's Tak province. Htun Aung subsequently issued an apology to this Thai counterpart, Napadej Dhupatemiya. The governments of the European Union, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom have sanctioned Htun Aung for human rights violations.
