## Description

LTI in IATA coding, ZMAT in ICAO: Altai Airport is the air link for Altai City, capital of Govi-Altai province in western Mongolia, and sits about 2 km west of the town. It has a single paved runway sized for An-24, Fokker 50, Dash 8 and ATR 42 equipment, with the current terminal building opened in 2013. Scheduled service runs domestically to Ulaanbaatar as well as Arvaikheer and Bayankhongor, which means cargo capacity here is belly space on small turboprops rather than freighter lift. No dedicated cargo terminal, all-cargo operation or on-site customs office for international consignments is confirmed. Import and export air freight for Mongolia is concentrated at Chinggis Khaan International Airport (UBN) near Ulaanbaatar, roughly 1,000 road kilometres east, with onward trucking across the national highway network. As a landlocked country Mongolia moves most trade volume by rail and road through the Chinese border crossing at Zamyn-Üüd/Erenhot and via Russia, so air freight in Govi-Altai mainly covers urgent spare parts, medical goods and mining supplies.
