The Government of Mongolia organised a special repatriation flight on March 10, 2026 that brought 91 citizens home from Dubai on a Ulaanbaatar–Dubai–Ulaanbaatar mission operated by MIAT Mongolian Airlines. The airline deployed a 23-person flight team, and the operation was coordinated with the United Arab Emirates Air Force and civil aviation authorities.
The evacuation was arranged after reports of escalating conflict in the Middle East disrupted commercial routes and led several countries to close or restrict their airspace; in recent days only humanitarian and emergency flights, including evacuations, have been allowed to operate in parts of the region affected by military action. Mongolian officials said the special flight was part of broader efforts by states to repatriate nationals from the area.
