In connection with starting the operations of the Chinggis Khaan International Airport located in Khushig Valley from July 1, detailed inspection is being carried out on the airport’s fueling facility.
Safely fueling the aircraft is considered as one of the priority matters for flight safety.

The hydrant system has a capacity of pumping 1,000 gallons or 3,780 liters of fuel per minute and simultaneously fueling 3 aircraft.
Thus, in the framework of the preparations being carried out to launch the operations of the new international airport of Ulaanbaatar city, officers of the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia (MCAA) are conducting a comprehensive test to calibrate the fueling equipment, and to inspect occupational safety and health conditions, correlation between tasks, and the capacity of airport staff over the course of three days starting from May 19. A comprehensively equipped laboratory is also being operated to assess the quality of fuel.
