GETTING
TO MONGOLIA:
Transport to or from Mongolia is usually by air or train. MIAT Mongolian
Airlines (OM) is Mongolia's national airline, based in the capital,
Ulan Bator. It operates a domestic route network and international
scheduled services from its main base at "Chinggis" Khaan
International Airport. Flights are run by MIAT (Mongolian International
Air Transport) to: Japan: Nagoya (Chubu Central International Airport)
[summer only]. Osaka (Kansai International Airport) [summer only].
Tokyo (Narita International Airport). South Korea: Seoul (Incheon International Airport).
Russia: Moscow (Sheremetyevo International Airport). Irkutsk: (Irkutsk International Airport). China: Beijing (Beijing Capital International Airport). Germany: Berlin (Tegel International Airport).
By 1992, MIAT had acquired a Boeing 727-200 jet from Korean Air
with one more following in 1994. The Boeing 727 jets were later
discharged. An Airbus A310 and Boeing 737 were later acquired by
MIAT. Later on in 2003 through 2005 MIAT's Antonov fleet was discharged
because they were over their warranty, which led to the creation
of Aero Mongolia.
Aeroflot, Korean Air and Air China are also operating flights.
