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.
