Altai Airport — Altai, Mongolia

LTI is Altai Airport, serving Altai, the capital of Govi-Altai Province in southwestern Mongolia. The airport connects this remote provincial center, situated near the Altai Mountains, to Ulaanbaatar, providing a crucial air link across Mongolia's vast and sparsely populated terrain where road travel can take days. Govi-Altai province spans a rugged landscape transitioning between the Altai range and the Gobi Desert, and air service through LTI supports both local residents and administrative travel in a region with limited infrastructure. As with many Mongolian provincial airports, LTI handles a modest schedule of domestic flights, typically operated with smaller aircraft suited to the airport's facilities and lower passenger volumes.
