On 1 May 2024, MIAT Mongolian Airlines posted on its Facebook a video showing that the airline has received its second 787-9 Dreamliner.

Bloomberg TV Mongolia first reports the arrival of the new aircraft on 25 April 2024.

Affectionately named "Munkh Khaan", the second 787-9 is registered EI-UBN. The airline plans to introduce this aircraft on new routes to Changi, Australia and the U.S.

When asked when MIAT is resuming direct flight to Changi with EI-UBN, MIAT on Instagram replied "soon" but did not give a definite date on the flight resumption date.

MIAT's second 787-9 is replacing its sole B767-300ER, which is currently not in active service. Biman Bangladesh Airlines has recently leased it for pilgrimage flights to Saudi Arabia. The aircraft was also seen operating charter flights to KLIA and Changi in 2023.
