On 28 June 2017, MIAT Mongolian Airlines and Cathay Pacific announced that they have signed a historic code-sharing partnership deal which will see MIAT Mongolian Airlines placing its OM code on Cathay Pacific's flights from Hong Kong to Singapore, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney and Cathay Pacific placing its CX code on MIAT's flights to Ulaanbaatar from Hong Kong up to five times a week.

The code-sharing flights will take effect on 12 July 2017.

MIAT Mongolian Airlines was not able to lease a B787 Dreamliner for direct flights to Singapore from Ulaanbaatar. So the code-sharing arrangements with Cathay Pacific aim to meet its passengers' demands for faster transit travel to the Lion City via Hong Kong. Passengers of MIAT will also be able to access to Cathay Pacific lounges at Hong Kong International Airport for free.
