## Description

Sand dunes, the Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag and one runway: Dalanzadgad (DLZ/ZMDZ) is the provincial airport of Ömnögovi in Mongolia's South Gobi, and it moves people rather than goods, with no cargo terminal and no customs post on site. Scheduled service in 2026 is limited to the Ulaanbaatar route flown by MIAT Mongolian Airlines, while other Mongolian carriers such as Hunnu Air and Aero Mongolia appear only seasonally. Most arrivals are travellers bound for Gobi Gurvansaikhan National Park. Air cargo for the region is processed instead at Chinggis Khaan International (UBN) near Ulaanbaatar, the only Mongolian airport with a dedicated freight terminal, and trucked roughly 500 kilometres south. The Oyu Tolgoi and Tavan Tolgoi mines in the same province run their charters into company airstrips such as Khanbumbat rather than DLZ. For freight forwarders the practical routings are UBN plus road haulage, or the overland crossing at Gashuunsukhait into China.
