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.

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.
