July 2016 is the special month for MIAT Mongolian Airlines as it celebrates its 60th Anniversary of flight operations linking Ulaanbaatar, the gateway to Mongolia, with the world. In this month, the airline has announced the following flight plans:-
MIAT Mongolian Airlines is poised to restore flights to Singapore by flying direct from Ulaanbaatar by 2018 using one of its B767-300 long-haul jets after suspending indirect flights to the Lion City via Beijing in March 2015.
MIAT Mongolian Airlines will introduce destinations in Australia via Singapore either in code-sharing basis with Singapore Airlines and via Hong Kong in code-sharing arrangement with Cathay Pacific.
The new flights will be possible as soon as the new Khushigiin Khundi International Airport is opened to replace the current airport in Ulaanbaatar, Chinggis Khaan International Airport. MIAT Mongolian Airlines will be the primary customer of the new airport that is located in Sergelen Sum, Tov Province, 52 km south of the city centre of Ulaanbaatar. The new airport also known as New Ulaanbaatar International Airport will be able to handle 12 million passengers annually.
Currently, flights to Singapore from Ulaanbaatar are operated by Air China on behalf of MIAT Mongolian Airlines via Beijing. Tickets can be purchased on Zuji and other online flight ticket platforms.
MIAT plans to foster economic ties between Russia and China by introducing new flights linking Ulaanbaatar with Russia Far East and northern China. Therefore, flights to Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude could be resumed while new destinations in China could be introduced.
To achieve success in the above plans, the airline has expanded its sales channels in order to make Mongolia more accessible by operating interline and code-share flights with international airline partners and participation in major international travel expositions such as ITB Berlin and JATA.
To become more competitive and better serve its passengers, MIAT has diversified its revenue sources by offering services such as aircraft maintenance, ground handling and inflight duty-free shops, following industrial trend by implementing projects based on IT platforms.
MIAT Mongolian Airlines first started flight operations in 1956 using 5 Soviet-made AN-2 passenger planes. Currently, it flies non-stop to Moscow, Beijing, Incheon, Tokyo-Narita, Berlin, Frankfurt and Hong Kong. It also offers direct charter flights to Suvarnabhumi, Sanya, Dubai, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Since 1956, MIAT has progressively aimed to provide reliable and efficient flights. The international airline safety reviewer www.airlineratings.com has recently ranked the airline's safety quality with 7 stars, on par with Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific. It is the only airline in Mongolia certified by the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) and has successfully passed it five times consecutively without findings of safety lapses.
