PM Ch.Saihanbileg visits Chinggis Khaan International Airport and construction process of new transit hall and expansion of passenger hall. This was the visit without prior notice and the international flight from Seoul to Ulaanbaatar was landing during that time. City Mayor E.Bat-Uul who is implementing "Friendly Ulaanbaatar" program accompanied PM at Chinggis Khaan International Airport.
Last year, Chinggis Khaan International Airport served to 1.1 million passengers and international and domestic 50 flights are being done during the summer time.
Airport officials emphasized that as tourism and investment increases, number of passengers will increase further.
"However, it is inappropriate that passengers are welcomed by many civil servants of border, customs and professional inspection agencies after the plane landed at the airport. There is no need to create bureaucracy and uncomfortable environment for both domestic and international passengers. Those checks should be conducted by one employee," said PM.
Moreover, re-examining of passenger luggage at the border is not meeting with any international standards, stated City Mayor E.Bat-Uul. As this process creates the doubling of the security check, which has been already done at the point of boarding, PM Ch.Saikhanbileg ordered to stop the re-examination after the landing and let the passengers to access our country border without barrier.
