Mongolian flag carrier to start non-stop flights between Singapore and Ulaanbaatar from Nov 4 www.straitstimes.com
SINGAPORE – Travellers will be able to fly directly between Singapore and the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar from Nov 4, with the launch of a non-stop service between the two cities by MIAT Mongolian Airlines.
The state-owned national carrier announced the new route on social media on July 22, adding that the flights will operate twice a week – on Tuesdays and Saturdays – strengthening the airline’s network.
The flight from Singapore will leave at 7.25pm and arrive in Mongolia at 2.55am. The return flight from Ulaanbaatar will leave at 10.35am local time and arrive in Singapore at 6pm.
Tickets are on sale, and checks by The Straits Times show that economy-class seats are priced as low as $385.60. However, the flights are available only during winter until March 26, 2026, for now.
According to its website, MIAT will use a Boeing 767 plane for the 7½-hour flight. The twin-aisle jet has 15 business-class seats and 237 seats in economy.
Booking information indicates that the airline will operate out of Changi Airport Terminal 1, but ST understands that this has not yet been finalised.
MIAT previously flew between Singapore and Ulaanbaatar in 2014 via Beijing, but the service was short-lived.
