Aero Mongolia ^[a] is one of the three national airlines of Mongolia. Its head office is on the fourth floor of Monnis Building in Ulaanbaatar. ^[1] It operates international scheduled services to Tokyo, Japan and Seoul, Korea. Its main base is Chinggis Khaan International Airport. ^[2]

History

The airline was established in 2001 and operated its first domestic flight on 25 May 2003. As of December 2024, it employs over 200 staff members and operates scheduled flights to four international destinations, including Seoul, Tokyo, Hohhot, and Hanoi. It also provides charter flights to Jeju, Yangyang (South Korea), Phu Quoc, Da Nang, and Nha Trang. As of 2024, the airline utilizes a modern fleet of two Airbus A319 aircraft.

As part of its fleet modernization plan, it retired its Fokker 50 and Fokker 100 aircraft in 2018, followed by the retirement of two Embraer ERJ 145 in 2023. After merging with the Monnis Group in June 2007, Aero Mongolia undertook significant measures to strengthen its management, stabilize its financial position, and enhance flight safety. These efforts have supported the airline's continued growth and expansion into new markets.
