[edit] Transportation

The Dalanzadgad Airport (ZMDZ/DLZ) has one unpaved runway. It is served by regular domestic flights from and to Ulaanbaatar. There are summer and winter timetables. Flights are made by MIAT and other smaller companies. As Dalazadgad is on the tourist route to Gobi - there will be chartered flights from Ulan Bator, but not necessarily back - because the people continue to travel in off-road vehicles.

There is GSM coverage in the city the same as in other major locations - the coverage is good for about a mile out of the city. Usually, the city is also supplied with electric power 24 hours a day.
