Flying to Moscow from Ulaanbaatar will become easier. From March 29, Aeroflot will operate a Boeing-767-300 in this sector.

The plane has 218 seats, with 30 in the business class. Dmitrii Budrinov of the Russian airline’s office here also told media that a new airport, Sheremetyevo-3, would open in Moscow this year, with the capacity to handle 12 million passengers a year. Discussions on giving MIAT landing rights there are presently being held. To encourage Mongolian tourism, a ger might be put up at the airport.
