India and Mongolia Launch Weekly Direct Flights Reducing Travel Time to Five Hours
India and Mongolia have launched a direct, non-stop flight service between New Delhi and Ulaanbaatar, operated weekly by Mongolia's Hunnu Air. This new route reduces travel time from 13-18 hours via connecting flights to about five hours, enhancing convenience for tourism, medical travel, business, and cultural exchanges. The service aims to strengthen bilateral ties, facilitate trade, and improve access to Buddhist heritage sites in India and Mongolia's natural and winter tourism destinations. The launch follows an announcement made during the Mongolian president's 2023 visit to India.
