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

[edit]

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.

[edit]

SKYMILES is the frequent-flyer program of Aero Mongolia. "SKYMILES" also refers to the bonus card which Aero Mongolia's frequent flyers are given. The program enables passengers to collect 10 tugriks (MNT) from each km they fly. Savings will be automatically calculated (based on flight distance) and collected to passenger’s bonus card. Passengers can make use of their savings whenever they want.

## Incidents and accidents

[edit]

On 31 October 2007, Mongolian aviation authorities suspended Aero Mongolia flights after the airline failed safety checks.[5] In the first quarter of 2008, Aero Mongolia received the license to fly on domestic routes.

The airline's operations were suspended from January to May 2009 due to the Mongolian Civil Aviation's doubt of flight safety.[6]

On 30 March 2012, a Fokker 50 (JU-8257) skidded off the runway during takeoff in Khanbumbat Airport, the right engine propeller was damaged due to colliding with the side runway lights. There were no injuries but the aircraft was written off.[citation needed]
