Mongolia’s accession to the Convention on International Civil Aviation in 1989 enabled cooperation with air-transport providers from the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Korea, the Kingdom of Thailand, Japan, and other countries.
As of 2024, Mongolia has air service agreements with 48 countries, has opened 11 new flight routes, and operates flights to more than 60 cities in 22 countries worldwide.
