History
The airport in Ulaanbaatar begins its history at the beginning of 1957. A year later, the first international flights to Irkutsk and Beijing began from here. Flights began to be operated on a regular basis only in 1961.

The next significant event happened after 1997. After the revolution, the airport received large funds from the Asian Development Bank, which were aimed at improving the quality of airport services.
