Location

Ulaangom, Mongolia

Ulaangom Airport (IATA: ULO, ICAO: ZMUG) is a small domestic airport serving Ulaangom, the capital of Uvs Province in the far northwest of Mongolia. The airport provides a vital air link for a region that is otherwise extremely isolated, with vast distances and difficult terrain separating it from Ulaanbaatar and other urban centers. The airport operates limited scheduled domestic services, primarily connecting Ulaangom to the Mongolian capital. Given the remote location and sparse population of the surrounding area, passenger volumes are low and infrastructure is modest. Air travel is often the most practical option for residents and officials traveling to and from the region.

Terminals

The airport has a single small terminal building suited to the low passenger volumes of a remote domestic facility.
