Bad weather on Tuesday (21^st of March) forced an Aero Mongolia flight with Mongolian Prime Minister J.Erdenebat on board to Bayan-Ulgii to be delayed. This province in the far west of Mongolia, is famous for its ethnic Kazakh-majority province, the eagle hunters and the highest mountains in the country. The PM had been planning to participate in the Kazakh spring festival of Nauryz. However, flights have been delayed following first snow fall in the westernmost province of Mongolia since January. The flight was scheduled to depart the Ulaanbaatar at  13.30 for Bayan-Ulgii.

PM J.Erdenebat is also planning to visit five of the central and western provinces of Mongolia.
