MIAT Mongolian Airlines is the national flag carrier of Mongolia, operating international and domestic passenger services. Founded in 1956 during the Soviet era, the airline has grown from a regional carrier into an international operator connecting Ulaanbaatar with destinations across Asia and Europe. The airline is state-owned and headquartered in Ulaanbaatar, operating primarily out of Chinggis Khaan International Airport. MIAT serves routes to destinations including Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Frankfurt, Moscow, and several other cities, making it a vital link between Mongolia and the wider world. Over the decades, MIAT has modernized its fleet, transitioning from Soviet-era aircraft to Boeing jets. The airline has faced financial and operational challenges common to small national carriers but remains central to Mongolia's aviation infrastructure and international connectivity.
