Eznis Airways is back flying to Bulgan in Khovd, after about almost 18 months. The resumption of service was prompted by concern for the people of Bulgan and two adjacent districts in Khovd — Altai and Uench. Separated from the rest of the country by the Altai Range, they have been almost marooned since the recent heavy snowfall and blizzards cut off road access to them.

The Eznis flights operate on Thursdays and Sundays. Significantly, for the first time in Mongolia, the Government is providing direct subsidies to a private airline to cover its operational losses. Passengers will have to pay the full commercial fare between Ulaanbaatar and Khovd but the Khovd-Bulgan sector will cost them MNT60,000 only, with the Government agreeing to recompense Eznis for its loss.
