Ulaanbaatar, May 9, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The first international direct flight from Jeonju City of the Republic of Korea to Murun, the center of Khuvsgul aimag of Mongolia, is set to commence on July 29, 2025.
This historic flight is expected to make a contribution to the development of Mongolia’s tourism sector. Furthermore, this will increase the flow of tourists to Mongolia and transport them to the site in the shortest possible time. Officials highlighted that the flight would also benefit to the economic development of Khuvsgul aimag and the surrounding region.
The Project is being jointly implemented by the tour company “Chandmani Travel” in cooperation with the Mongolian airline “Hunnu Air,” marking a new chapter in the Mongolia's tourism and air transport sectors.
During the first session of the North Region Council last April in Bulgan aimag, Prime Minister of Mongolia Oyun-Erdene Luvsannamsrai announced that the Murun airport will be upgraded to 4C or International Standard, making this flight route the first step toward achieving the goal.
