History

=Origin=

Ulaanbaatar's former main airport, Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport, established in 1957, is located in close proximity to two mountains to its south and east, so only one end of its runway was able to be used, and was often adversely affected by weather events. The new airport was designed with a capacity of handling up to 1,100 passengers per hour and three million passengers per year,{{Cite web |title=New Chinggis Khaan International Airport opens |url=https://montsame.mn/en/read/268963 |access-date=2021-07-17 |website=Montsame News Agency |language=en}} with cargo capacity set at 11,900 tons.{{cite web |title=New Ulaanbaatar International Airport (UBN) opens |url=http://magnificentmongolia.com/mongolia/news/1-latest-news/272-new-ulaanbaatar-international-airport-opens.html/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230418074408/https://magnificentmongolia.com/mongolia/news/1-latest-news/272-new-ulaanbaatar-international-airport-opens.html |archive-date=2023-04-18 |access-date=2021-07-04}}{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Терминалын үйл ажиллагаа |url=https://www.ulaanbaatar-airport.mn/terminal-operation |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201204041442/https://www.ulaanbaatar-airport.mn/terminal-operation |archive-date=2020-12-04 |access-date=2021-07-17 |website=www.ulaanbaatar-airport.mn}} Its development was majority funded by a Japanese government (JICA) soft loan (93%), with the rest provided by the Mongolian government.{{Cite web |title=Mongolia's New Gateway |url=https://ocglobal.jp/what-we-do/project/airports-and-aviation/mongolias-new-gateway/ |access-date=2024-01-23 |website=OC Global |language=en-US}}

=Development=

Initial planning for the airport was done in 2006 with Japanese government assistance. In May 2008, a {{JPY|28.8 billion}} ({{USD|385 million}}) 40-year soft loan agreement at 0.2% interest was signed between the Government of Mongolia and the Japan Bank for International Cooperation to build a new international airport. The loan required that the project is to be carried out by Japanese consultants and contractors; however, the materials and equipment the contractors use could be up to 70% from any country. Between 2009 and 2011, Azusa Sekkei and Oriental Consultants Joint Venture made the design and bid documentation for the airport. In 2011, a call for bids was announced for the construction of the airport, with the Mitsubishi-Chiyoda Joint Venture (MCJV) successful in the technical bidding. An extended price review and contract negotiation were completed on 10 May 2013 when the main construction contract was signed between MCJV and the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia. The final amount of loans from the Japanese Government for the development of the airport totaled {{JPY|65.6 billion}} ({{USD|600 million}}), to be paid over forty years.
