Hunnu Air has suspended flights to Suvarnabhumi, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Tokyo-Narita, Paris and Erlian indefinitely due to poor passenger loads and a weakening Mongolian economy. It has returned its Airbus A319 aircraft to its leasor in early November 2014. 

Hunnu Air will also not be inducting a new Airbus A330 aircraft to its fleet for summer flights to Paris in 2015 as planned and has cancelled plans to launch Airbus A330 direct flights to Singapore in 2015.

Hunnu Air is concentrating on its domestic route expansion with its Fokker planes following the bankruptcy of Eznis Airways in May 2014 and it is maintaining its regional flights from Ulaanbaatar to Manzhouli and Hailar, China.

MIAT Mongolian Airlines remains as the national airline of Mongolia operating regular international flights from Ulaanbaatar to Beijing, Seoul-Incheon, Osaka, Tokyo, Moscow, Berlin, Hong Kong and Singapore. It is looking into the possibility of launching future scheduled flights to Yekaterinburg, Khanbumbat, Suvarnahumi, Delhi and Dubai. To cope with the intended route network and fleet expansion, the airline is said to look out for prospective entities to invest in the airline.
