Choibalsan Airport (Mongolian: Чойбалсан нисэх буудал,) is a public airport located in Choibalsan, the capital of Dornod Province in Mongolia. A new passenger building was completed in 2001.
The Soviet 43rd Fighter-Bomber Aviation Regiment was located here from 1968 to 1990.[2] It principally flew Sukhoi Su-7s and Sukhoi Su-17s. In June 1990 it moved to Hvardiiske, Simferopol Raion, in Ukraine.
