History
MIAT Mongolian Airlines was formed in 1956 and was known at different times as, Air Mongol or Mongolian Airlines. It started with the help of Aeroflot and started flights on 7 July 1956 using an Antonov An-2 from Ulan Bator to Irkutsk, although the airline also used Soviet-built DC-3s (Li-2s) for flights to international destinations like Beijing and Moscow. During the 1960s and 1970s the airline equipped with Antonov An-24 and -26 twin turboprops and the Chinese Yunshuji Y-12 commuter airliner. Tupolev Tu-154 jets were introduced in the late 1970s. By 1992 MIAT had acquired a Boeing 727-200 jet from Korean Air with one more following in 1994. The Boeing 727 jets were later discharged. An Airbus A310 and Boeing 737 were later acquired by MIAT. Later on in 2003 through 2005 MIAT's Antonov fleet was discharged because they were over their warranty, which led to the creation of Aero Mongolia. MIAT Mongolian Airlines is a fully state owned airline with a total of 1034 employees.
