India and Mongolia Launch First Regular Non‑Stop New Delhi–Ulaanbaatar Flight

A weekly Hunnu Air service cuts travel to about five hours, opening new possibilities for tourism, education, faster cargo movement.

Overview

  • Hunnu Air launched the scheduled non‑stop New Delhi–Ulaanbaatar service, which began Monday and will operate once a week on Mondays with an approximate five‑hour flight time.
  • India’s embassy in Ulaanbaatar and Mongolian authorities said the route opened after coordinated approvals from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Mongolia’s Ministry of Road and Transport.
  • India’s ambassador to Mongolia, Atul Malhari Gotsurve, and Hunnu Air CEO Munkhjargal led work with airlines and regulators to operationalise the link.
  • Officials and coverage say the direct service will make travel easier for tourists, students, religious pilgrims and medical travellers by replacing longer multi‑leg journeys through hubs such as Beijing or Incheon.
  • The route fulfils a commitment made during Mongolia’s October 2025 state visit and stakeholders say frequency could rise and cargo options expand if passenger demand develops.
