Northern Turkmenistan's gateway serving Daşoguz region.

Location
Daşoguz, Turkmenistan
Dashoguz International Airport (IATA: TAZ, ICAO: UTAT) is the primary commercial airport serving the city of Daşoguz in northern Turkmenistan, near the border with Uzbekistan. It handles both domestic and limited international flights, connecting the region to the capital Ashgabat and select destinations abroad. The airport operates under the management of Turkmenistan's civil aviation authorities and is served primarily by Turkmenistan Airlines, the national carrier. As with most regional airports in Turkmenistan, passenger traffic is modest, reflecting the country's relatively limited civil aviation market and controlled travel environment. Daşoguz is the administrative center of the Daşoguz Province, and the airport plays an important role in linking this remote northern region to the rest of the country and facilitating access for the local population.
Terminals
The airport operates a single modest terminal building serving both domestic and international passengers.
Getting to & from
Ground transport between the airport and the city of Daşoguz is primarily provided by taxis and private vehicles, with limited public transport options.

Options expand considerably in the city center compared to the airport itself.

Traveller Tips
  • Carry local manat currency as card payment infrastructure at and around the airport is very limited.
  • Arrange your visa and any required travel permits well in advance, as Turkmenistan has strict entry requirements.
  • Negotiate taxi fares before departure — meters are rarely used in this region.
  • If visiting Konye-Urgench, confirm local transport options ahead of time as public connections can be infrequent.
