Gateway to Kazakhstan's copper-mining heartland.
Location
Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan
Zhezkazgan National Airport (IATA: DZN, ICAO: UAKD) serves the city of Zhezkazgan in the Ulytau Region of central Kazakhstan. The airport provides essential air connectivity to this remote industrial city, which is historically significant as a major copper-mining center and home to the Zhezkazgan copper smelting complex.
The airport operates domestic routes connecting Zhezkazgan primarily to Almaty and Nur-Sultan (Astana), supporting both business travelers linked to the mining industry and local residents. Given the city's remote location in the steppe, air travel is a critical mode of long-distance transportation for the region.
The facility is a relatively modest regional airport managed under Kazakhstan's national civil aviation framework. It handles limited but consistent passenger traffic driven largely by the industrial and administrative needs of the surrounding area.
Terminals
The airport operates a single small terminal building suited to its regional passenger volumes.
