Mongolia’s Hunnu Air eyes network gains following E2-based fleet modernisation www.flightglobal.com

Mongolian operator Hunnu Air is looking at growth opportunities in Southeast Asia, India and Central Asia, spurred by its recent fleet modernisation efforts.
The privately-owned carrier will commence flights to Tashkent in Uzkekistan this year and is looking at launching scheduled flights to Indian capital Delhi, and points in Vietnam and the Philippines, says airline commercial head Turbold Tserenkhuu.
Tserenkhuu spoke to FlightGlobal at the Singapore air show, where a Hunnu Embraer E195-E2 – the airline’s newest jet – is on the static display.
Tserenkhuu touts the “incredible fuel efficiency and range” of its E2 fleet, allowing it to conduct longer-range operations
Hunnu took delivery of its first E2 in May 2025, becoming one of the region’s newest operators of the type. The airline, which also operates a pair of Embarer 190s, now has two E195-E2s in service, both of which are configured to seat 136 passengers in a two-class layout. 
Tserenkhuu touts the “incredible fuel efficiency and range” of the new jets, which allows it to conduct flights of 6h or more.
In fact, Hunnu recently operated one of the E2’s longest nonstop flights, a charter service between Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia and Phu Quoc in Vietnam that lasted 6h 30m.
The E2s are also operating routes into China – including to Beijing’s Daxing airport and Sanya in the south – its largest current market.
Tserenkhuu points out Mongolia’s “geographical advantage” of being situated between China and Russia, as well as between central and east Asia.
This, in turn, allows Hunnu to slowly build up a transit network between the two regions, providing more sustainable travel demand through the year. Tserenkhuu estimates transit traffic to make up a small proportion of total traffic but is hopeful this will increase in the longer term.
Hunnu began operations in the early 2010s flying between Mongolia to major hubs in Asia with a small fleet of Airbus narrowbodies. But the carrier changed its business model in 2015, to instead focus on regional and short-haul operations.
Tserenkhuu also reveals that Hunnu will consider larger narrowbody jets – including Airbus narrowbodies – in the long term, as it looks at network opportunity in the Middle East.

PDIC, Mongolia counterpart deepen deposit insurance cooperation www.dailyguardian.com.ph

The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) has further strengthened its international cooperation efforts after forging a new partnership with the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Mongolia (DICoM), aimed at enhancing depositor protection and financial system stability in both countries.
The agreement marks the first formal collaboration between PDIC and DICoM and reflects a shared commitment to improving the effectiveness of their respective deposit insurance systems amid increasingly complex financial risks.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed by PDIC President and CEO Roberto B. Tan and Mr. Amar Lkhagvasuren, Board Member of the National Deposit Insurance Committee of Mongolia, during the International Association of Deposit Insurers (IADI) Annual Conference held in Lisbon, Portugal, in November 2025.
Under the agreement, the MOU will remain in force for five years and may be extended for an additional five-year period upon the joint and written consent of both parties.
The MOU establishes a structured framework for cooperation, consultation, and knowledge exchange between the two institutions across a wide range of technical and operational areas.
These areas include deposit insurance systems, receivership and liquidation processes, bank resolution frameworks, risk management practices, premium assessment methodologies, and fund management strategies.
The agreement also covers collaboration on information technology systems to support efficient database administration, as well as the exchange of insights on legal and administrative procedures relevant to deposit insurance operations.
Public awareness initiatives are likewise included, recognizing the role of depositor education in maintaining confidence in the banking system and preventing panic during periods of financial stress.
A key component of the MOU is the exchange of views on the impact and implementation of international standards and guidance related to deposit insurance.
This provision is intended to help both PDIC and DICoM adapt their policies and operations in response to evolving global financial risks and regulatory expectations.
The agreement further provides for joint activities such as collaborative research projects, senior-level study visits, and the establishment of working groups to support capacity-building initiatives.
These initiatives include training programs and technical exchanges designed to enhance institutional expertise and promote the adoption of best practices in deposit insurance.
PDIC’s partnership with its Mongolian counterpart adds to a growing network of international alliances formed by the Philippine deposit insurer over the years.
The PDIC has forged technical cooperation agreements with peer institutions from Germany, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Vietnam.
Through these partnerships, the PDIC continues to reinforce its commitment to aligning Philippine deposit insurance practices with globally recognized standards and principles.
The corporation said such international engagements are vital in strengthening its institutional capacity to protect depositors and contribute to the overall stability of the Philippine financial system.
The agreement with DICoM underscores PDIC’s broader strategy of leveraging global cooperation to address emerging risks and ensure that its deposit insurance framework remains responsive, resilient, and aligned with international best practices.

AsstrA transports coils to Mongolia www.heavyliftpfi.com

Switzerland-headquartered freight forwarder Asstra-Associated Traffic has moved oversized and heavy cargo from Germany to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia’s capital.
AsstrA uses multimodal method to transport coils to Mongolia
The shipment consisted of two batches of coils, with the total weight surpassing 330 tonnes. During the first stage of the project, the coils were mvoed over the road before being transhipped to railcars – with AsstrA having prepared a loading and securing scheme for railway shipments. This allowed the freight forwarder to calculate the optimal weight distribution on the railway tracks.
Following final approval, the cargo was placed on open railcars. The first batch of coils was loaded onto railway platforms, with the second onto open wagons. AsstrA provided the customer with daily tracking reports, keeping them updated on the cargo along the whole route to Mongolia.
“As often happens in the logistics world we faced some challenges here: upon the cargo’s arrival at the border, we had to urgently prepare additional documents according to the authority’s request,” explained Olga Davidovich, forwarding specialist at AsstrA. “Thanks to the prompt actions of the AsstrA team and coordination with the customer, all vehicles have been cleared without delays, and the shipments continued as planned.”

PM Zandanshatar orders study into small-scale nuclear power www.gogo.mn

In the latest episode of his weekly podcast “Tsegtsrekh khudulguun,” Prime Minister G.Zandanshatar, returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, said he has instructed relevant agencies to carry out scientific research, modelling and economic calculations on the feasibility of a small-scale nuclear power plant in Mongolia.
Speaking on the podcast, the Prime Minister reviewed the current international political and economic environment and outlined emerging opportunities for Mongolia. He said that after Davos he gave priority directions to organisations working in the energy sector to act quickly to stabilise supply and to prepare well-evidenced options for the public.
“There is a lot of talk and speculation about nuclear power plants. For example, Kazakhstan decided by public referendum to pursue nuclear energy,” Mr Zandanshatar said. “On the issue of building a small-scale nuclear power plant in Mongolia, we have been tasked with providing citizens with scientifically based information, conducting expert research and discussions, and presenting calculations on the solutions and economic benefits.”
The Prime Minister’s request asks experts to evaluate technical options, safety and environmental safeguards, financing models and projected costs and benefits so that any future policy decisions are grounded in transparent, evidence-based analysis and public discussion.
