Which airport serving Ulaanbaatar is named after Genghis Khan?

The airport serving Ulaanbaatar named after Genghis Khan is Chinggis Khaan International Airport.

Mongolia’s principal international gateway is also called New Ulaanbaatar International Airport. It lies in the Khöshig Valley of Sergelen, Töv Province, about 52 kilometers south of central Ulaanbaatar. The facility opened for operations on 4 July 2021 and replaced the older Buyant-Ukhaa International Airport as the capital’s main airport.

The name uses Chinggis Khaan, a transliteration based on the modern Mongolian pronunciation of Genghis Khan. The airport has the IATA code UBN and serves as a hub for Mongolian airlines including MIAT Mongolian Airlines, Hunnu Air, and Aero Mongolia.

A frequent source of confusion is Buyant-Ukhaa. That older airport was itself renamed Chinggis Khaan International Airport in 2005, but it reverted to Buyant-Ukhaa when the new airport adopted the Chinggis Khaan name in 2020. Thus, for the current airport serving Ulaanbaatar, the stored answer is the canonical choice.
