About Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport

Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport lies in the temperate mid-latitudes at 47.65° N, 106.82° E, on Asia/Ulaanbaatar time (UTC+8).

Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport has 1 runway. The longest, 11/29, measures 11,811 ft by 148 ft, which puts the field in the long-haul capable category: widebodies operate comfortably, though the very longest sectors may need a payload trade. The surface is asphalt. It is lit for night operations.

Runway 11/29 is aligned roughly east/west, which is the clearest hint you get about the prevailing wind here: runways are built to face the wind that blows most often, because aircraft take off and land into it. Every runway here shares that east/west alignment, so a strong crosswind means a crosswind landing rather than a switch to another strip.

The field sits at 4,482 ft, high enough that density altitude matters. Takeoff runs stretch on warm afternoons and climb performance is weaker than the same aircraft would manage at sea level.
