Your gateway to Ulaanbaatar, the city's primary international airport, is a testament to the city's dynamic development. Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport, positioned 18 km southwest of the capital, started life in 1957, not long before it began handling international flights in 1958. It underwent extensive upgrades and changes, adapting to the growing global traffic and evolving to meet international standards yet, it retained its traditional Mongolian ethos.

In 2005, to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the establishment of the Mongolian State, it was rechristened Chinggis Khaan International Airport. With the advent of the new Ulaanbaatar International Airport in 2021, located in the picturesque Khoshigt Valley, Buyant-Ukhaa transitioned into a role of support, functioning as a backup airport and a training hub for chartered, special, and government flights. Whether your journey takes you to the old or the new, rest assured that your arrival will be the start of something extraordinary.
