Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia · Asia-Pacific
Chinggis Khaan (UBN) is Mongolia’s main international airport, a single terminal in the Khöshig Valley that opened on 4 July 2021. The 2024 year-end table shows 420,395 domestic and 1,746,875 international passengers. In January 2026 the transport minister said 2025 traffic was 2.4 million, a rounded figure above the published design capacities of 1.6, 2.3, and 3 million. The runway is 3,600 m with ILS only on runway 29. The city ride is a bus of about 1.5–2 hours or a fixed-fare taxi at MNT 120,000, and the bus posters on the airport site do not agree on the fare.
