Mongolia’s Eznis Airways company will introduce direct flights from Prague to Ulaanbaatar as of June. Direct flights are another step in developing Mongolian and Czech tourism after Mongolia lifted visa requirements for Czech tourists.

Details on the flight frequency and departure dates have not yet been announced. A bilateral agreement on direct flights was made in 2017, but the flights failed to materialize. There was renewed diplomatic interest in the idea in 2020, but the pandemic and other issues caused delays.

It is not widely known, but Czechia is home to the largest Mongolian community in the EU and the third largest in the world.
