Mongolia Travel Advice
Communications and health facilities in Mongolia, particularly outside Ulaanbaatar, can be poor.
Travellers entering Mongolia by road should be aware that only a few specified border crossings are open to foreigners.
There are doubts about the maintenance of Mongolian-registered aircraft used by domestic airlines for internal flights and short-haul international flights. British Embassy staff do use Eznis for internal flights and the UN forbid their staff to use some domestic airlines, except in an emergency. The British Embassy has also received occasional reports of maintenance problems interrupting some long-haul international flights operated by domestic airlines. Bad weather can delay many domestic and international flights, sometimes for several days. Mongolia's Civil Aviation Authority has suspended all flights operated by Aero Mongolia until further notice because of safety concerns.
