Economy and Infrastructure

Local economic sectors are natural gas production as well as maintenance and operation of the pipelines passing by.

Pangody is located at 187 km (from Korottschajewo) of the railway line Korottschajewo - Novy Urengoy - Stary Nadym (district of Nadym on the opposite, right bank of the Nadym river). This represents a section of the Arctic Circle Railway that was initially completed for freight traffic between the 1970s and 1980s , the construction of which was canceled after Stalin's death in 1953. The line is operated today by the Yamal Railways ( Ямальские железные дороги / Jamalskije schelesnyje dorogi), a joint venture between Russian Railways and Gazprom . From the direction of Novy Urengoy there is also passenger traffic, further towards Nadym only goods traffic.

The Novy Urengoy – Nadym road, which is only passable during the frosty season, also runs through Pangody, but its fortification (asphalting) to the west has not yet been completed. In the immediate vicinity, the settlement has an airport for local connections.
