UBN Airport (Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

Some 50 kilometres south of the capital, in the Khushig Valley near Sergelen, Chinggis Khaan International Airport (IATA: UBN, ICAO: ZMCK) handles almost all of Mongolia's international air traffic. It opened in July 2021 with Japanese financing and is run by a Japan-Mongolia joint venture, replacing the cramped Buyant-Ukhaa field inside Ulaanbaatar. Flag carrier MIAT Mongolian Airlines, together with Aero Mongolia and Hunnu Air, links the country to Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, Istanbul and Frankfurt. A dedicated cargo terminal processes inbound and outbound freight, clearing customs and paperwork before consignments move on by road. The airport has been enlarging its facilities since opening, including additional freight areas, while a special economic zone is being developed in the Khushig Valley to concentrate transhipment and logistics operations around the airfield. Because Mongolia is landlocked, air freight works alongside the Trans-Mongolian Railway and the trucking corridor to the Chinese seaport of Tianjin rather than competing with them. Typical air exports are high-value goods such as cashmere, while mining equipment and consumer products move inbound. One distinctive trait is that the airport sits on the open steppe at roughly 1,300 metres, well outside the city it serves.
