Regional gateway serving Bulgan Province in northern Mongolia.

Location
Bulgan, Mongolia

Traveller Tips
  • Confirm your flight schedule directly with MIAT Mongolian Airlines or EzNis Airways as regional timetables change seasonally.
  • Arrive well ahead of departure as check-in procedures can be informal but staff punctuality varies.
