Air transport agreement between Italy and Mongolia

Direct air connections between Italy and Mongolia can now become a reality thanks to the recent bilateral agreement signed in Rome at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The agreement was signed by Minister Antonio Tajani and Mongolia's Undersecretary for Transport, Sandagdorj Batbold, opening the door to a new chapter for air transport between the two countries.

 

Minister Tajani said: "We must relaunch the political dialogue with Mongolia. It is important to have signed the first agreement on air transport services: I now hope for the rapid activation of the first direct air connections, starting with the one between the airports of Bergamo-Orio al Serio and Ulaanbaatar, for which work has already begun some time ago".

 

The announcement was welcomed with enthusiasm by Giovanni Sanga, president of SACBO, the management company of Milan Bergamo Airport. Last November, Sanga met with a government and business delegation from Mongolia on a fact-finding visit to Bergamo and the airport infrastructures, highlighting the economic and industrial potential of the area.

 

"On behalf of SACBO - said Giovanni Sanga - I would like to thank Minister Tajani, the Bergamo parliamentarians Alessandro Sorte and Stefano Benigni, and all those who have worked to weave this important transport relationship. The manifest interest in Milan Bergamo airport, as a logistical destination favorable to the growth of passenger traffic and trade with Mongolia, may now translate into the opening of a route with Ulaanbaatar. We are ready and willing to study terms and methods with the national airline Miat Mongolian Airlines. The direct flight from Bergamo to the capital of Mongolia has a strategic value for the entire area of northern Italy and for the varied industrial and entrepreneurial world that gravitates there, and will certainly support and accelerate the process of growth of import-export between the two countries".

 

The opening of a direct route between Milan Bergamo and the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar would play a key role in strengthening trade relations between the two countries, facilitate import-export and offer decisive support to the economic and entrepreneurial development of the two nations, helping to create a cultural bridge between Europe and Asia.

 

 

The agreement paves the way for a series of regulatory acts and agreements that will lead to the establishment of direct flights and creates the conditions for a further expansion of the network of international connections of Milan Bergamo Airport. Currently, the airport offers access to hundreds of destinations in Asia and Africa thanks to direct flights to strategic hubs such as Dubai, Sharjah and Istanbul (Sabiha Gokcen SAW Airport), consolidating itself as a reference point for global connectivity.
