Arvaikheer Airport guide

Arvaikheer Airport (IATA: AVK, ICAO: ZMAH) serves Arvaikheer, the capital of Övörkhangai Province in central Mongolia. It lies about 1 km southeast of the town, at an elevation of 1,808 m above sea level. The airport is a joint civil and military airfield.

Its single runway, 14/32, is 2,500 m long and 50 m wide with a gravel surface, and the aerodrome is open to VFR traffic only. The Mongolian aeronautical information publication lists the aerodrome operator's office as staffed Monday to Friday, with security staffed around the clock.

Regular flights connect Arvaikheer with Ulaanbaatar and Altai. Passenger traffic is small: 8,900 passengers were recorded in 2010, according to Civil Aviation Administration of Mongolia statistics.

Arvaikheer is about 430 km from Ulaanbaatar and is linked to the capital by a paved road, with public buses running to the town. Kharkhorin and the province's other districts, known as sums, lie elsewhere in Övörkhangai Province.
