Hunnu Air (MR, Ulaanbaatar) mulls leasing two A321-200NX(LR) aircraft and two A330-200s to pave the way for a planned expansion into Europe, commercial director Turbold Tserenkhuu said at Routes Asia 2026, as cited by the Aviation Week.

The A321LRs are targeted for delivery from late 2027, although delays could push their arrival into the first quarter of 2028. The A330-200s are also slated to enter service in the first quarter of 2028.

The additional aircraft would enable new routes to Berlin Brandenburg and Budapest. The airline is also evaluating adding an A330-200(P2F) around 2028 to potentially branch out into dedicated freighter services.

However, Tserenkhuu told ch-aviation that no final decisions have been made regarding any aircraft leases. He stressed that any fleet additions will depend on market demand, financial sustainability, and broader strategic priorities.

In an exclusive February 2026 interview, Tserenkhuu said the airline was studying the addition of two narrowbodies, most likely A320-200s, in late 2027 or early 2028, requiring at least 180 seats to upgauge from its E190-E2s.

He also reiterated plans to pursue wet-lease partnerships to manage seasonal demand, while the airline works towards obtaining IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) certification.

According to ch-aviation data, the Mongolian carrier operates two E190s and two E190-E2s, alongside Cessna (single turboprop) C208s used mainly for domestic charters. It connects its main Ulaanbaatar hub to nine destinations, including Almaty International, Beijing Daxing International, and Tokyo Haneda.
