Direct flights between Astana and Ulaanbaatar will begin operating in June. The route will be operated by SCAT Airlines, an international airline that has maintained stable operations since 1997.

According to the Tourism Professional Association of Mongolia, the launch of the new route reflects the implementation of agreements reached during the state visit of President Khurelsukh Ukhnaa to Kazakhstan aimed at expanding bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

The opening of direct Astana–Ulaanbaatar flights is expected to strengthen people-to-people exchanges, business partnerships, and tourism flows between Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The new route will also improve travel conditions and create opportunities to elevate regional cooperation and economic relations.

The regular flight schedule will operate as follows:

Tuesdays: Astana–Ulaanbaatar, 23:40–06:15

Wednesdays: Ulaanbaatar–Astana, 07:30–09:00

Fridays: Astana–Ulaanbaatar, 21:10–03:30
