Gateway to Mongolia's remote Khövsgöl province.

Location
Mörön, Mongolia
Mörön Airport (IATA: MXV, ICAO: ZMMN) serves Mörön, the capital of Khövsgöl Province in northern Mongolia. It is one of several regional airports operated by the Mongolian Civil Aviation Authority, providing vital air links between the remote provincial capital and Ulaanbaatar. The airport handles limited domestic traffic and is particularly important for travelers heading to the nearby Khövsgöl Lake area, a major ecotourism destination.
