Choibalsan Airport guide

Choibalsan Airport serves Choibalsan, the capital of Dornod Province in eastern Mongolia. Its ICAO code is ZMCD and it sits at an elevation of 743 metres. The site was a Soviet military airfield, home to the 43rd Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment from 1968 to 1990. An international reserve airport was built on the former airbase in 2001, and a new passenger building was completed that year.

A single concrete runway, 12/30, is about 2,600 metres long. Traffic is light. Domestic flights link the airport with Ulaanbaatar, about 584 km to the west by air. International services have included flights to Hailar in China from 2008 and to Manchuria in China from October 2013, and schedules have changed over the years.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia operates the airport. Flight schedules to this part of the country are sparse, so check current services with the airline before travelling.
