Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport (UBN)

Getting Around

How to get to and from Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport — taxis, public transport, shuttles and car rental.

Transport Options at UBN

Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport is connected to Ulaanbaatar (Sergelen) and the wider Mongolia transport network by multiple ground transport options.

Bus & Shuttle

Public city buses (Line 1 to Sukhbaatar Square, Line 2 to the Buyant Ukhaa Sport Complex) run only from June to September; off-season public bus service is sparse to nonexistent. The Ubus shuttle (about MNT 10,000, 50–60 minutes, timed around flights) is the more reliably available option year-round.

Taxi

No confirmed typical fare was found for the roughly 52km trip into the city; insist on a metered official taxi or agree a price up front, since traffic can stretch the ride to 1–2 hours and many drivers don't speak English.

Rideshare

UBcab is the local ride-hailing app, used mainly by residents; Uber and Bolt aren't confirmed present in Mongolia.

Car Rental

No in-terminal rental desk list is confirmed; given the airport's distance from the city, a pre-booked private transfer is the more commonly recommended option over a self-drive rental.

Insider tip

This airport sits about 52km from central Ulaanbaatar — budget 50 minutes to over 2 hours depending on traffic, and don't assume public buses are running unless you're travelling June–September.

Transport routes, fares and operators change frequently. Verify current options on the official Ulaanbaatar Chinggis Khaan International Airport website before travel.
