Mongolia’s flag carrier MIAT Mongolian Airlines seems to be in the process of preparing to launch passenger flights to the United States. This month, the airline filed a document with the Department of Transportation (DOT) to get this service started.
Is MIAT coming to the United States?

This week, Ishrion Aviation tweeted that MIAT Mongolian Airlines appeared to move closer to its plans to launch flights from Ulaanbaatar International Airport (UBN) to the United States. The flag carrier would most likely use its future Boeing 787-9 aircraft to operate these possible future new routes.




The process is still in an early stage. Before MIAT can launch flights to the United States, the Mongolian and US governments must finalize an Air Transport Agreement. Last month, both parties signed a Memorandum of Consultation (MOC), finalizing the first bilateral air transport agreement negotiated by the two countries.
This MOC acknowledged that the aeronautical authorities of the countries intend to apply the agreement on the basis of comity and reciprocity pending its entry of force, said the US Department of State in a statement.
The agreement includes unrestricted capacity and frequency of services, open route rights, and open codesharing opportunities.
