ACIA Aero Leasing (ACIA), a leading provider of regional aircraft leasing and lease management services, has announced the delivery of an ATR 72-600 passenger aircraft on lease to Chingis Airlines Unity (Chingis Airlines) in Mongolia.
Chingis Airlines Unity is owned by the NOMIN Group, one of Mongolia’s largest and most diversified private companies. Founded in 1992, the NOMIN Group has grown into a major conglomerate with subsidiaries spanning retail, trade and distribution, banking and insurance, construction and real estate, IT, and now aviation. The group maintains an extensive retail footprint across Mongolia, ranging from hypermarkets and supermarkets to local bank branches and retail outlets, employs over 6,000 people, and plays a key role in the country’s developing economy.
Chingis Airlines Unity has been established to enhance regional connectivity across Mongolia’s vast and sparsely populated landscape. The airline will utilise the strong performance capabilities of the ATR 72-600 to operate into unpaved runways, particularly in support of the rapidly expanding mining sector. The aircraft’s turboprop configuration provides a clear operational advantage, enabling access to remote locations and supporting the expansion of regional air services.
“We also plan to introduce a second aircraft in June this year. This new initiative aims to stimulate the domestic aviation market by offering passengers greater choice and more affordable travel options. Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our operations, launching international routes, and establishing ourselves as a competitive and reputable airline in the regional market,” said Ganbold Namsraijav, Chief Executive Officer of Chingis Airlines Unity.
