and exchanged opinions on cooperation in air transportation.
At the meeting,
the proposal to conduct IATA training in Mongolia was accepted by the IATA and IATA
expressed its interest in cooperation. By conducting the certified training in Mongolia, young people who are interested
in studying in the aviation industry will have the opportunity to study in their
home country at a discounted price.
The two parties
agreed that IATA Consulting would collaborate in the implementation of the
project to elevate the status of “Khovd” airport to an international airport by
increasing its capacity and improving its efficiency through a public-private
partnership.
The consulting
services provided at “Khovd” airport can be used as a benchmark for the
development and improvement of other local airports, such as “Murun”,
“Choibalsan” and “Gurvansaikhan”, which are included in the “List of State
Property Concession”. In
addition, they exchanged views on the opening of a new air gate with China, air
navigation fees, and the joining of MIAT, the Mongolian flag carrier as a
member of IATA and the representatives of IATA expressed that it would provide
all possible support to these issues.
