Gateway to Turkmenistan's ancient Merv oasis region.

Location
Mary, Turkmenistan
Mary International Airport (IATA: MYP, ICAO: UTAM) serves the city of Mary in southeastern Turkmenistan, a region historically significant as the site of ancient Merv, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The airport provides essential air connectivity for the Lebap and Mary provinces of Turkmenistan.
