Eznis Airways

Eznis Airways LLC (Mongolian: Изинис Эйрвэйз ХХК, romanized: Izinis Eirweiz HHK, [ˈit͡sinis ˈɛːrwɛj(t)s xɑxɑˈkɑ]) is a charter airline and former scheduled carrier headquartered in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia and based at Chinggis Khaan International Airport.

[citation needed] In 2004, the Newcom Group, undertook feasibility research into starting up new domestic air transport services in Mongolia: in January 2006 they founded Eznis Airways, a wholly owned subsidiary.

[citation needed] In July 2008 Eznis Airways launched the Radixx computer reservation system: the airline intends to introduce Internet booking for tour operators, travel agencies and general public.

[citation needed] Eznis Airways has gained a dominant position in the domestic air travel market of Mongolia and had by 2008 carried its 100,000th passenger.

[8] Eznis Airways LLC ceased all operations from 22 May 2014 due to the financial difficulties and the current situation at the airline industry[9] after restructuring measures failed during the last two years.

The name consists of two parts which when put together say 'easy flight': the first two letters “ez” stand for “easy” in English and “nis” is a Mongolian word meaning “fly”.

The aircraft were primarily destined to be used on charter flying to mining sites in the Gobi desert and were modified for operations on gravel runways.

The aircraft were also used on services to the west of the country (Khovd, Ulaangom and Ulgii) but reducing load factors and unrealistic fare structures made the routes uneconomic for the RJs to operate.

Consequently, the airline now looked to the Bombardier Dash8-Q400 to restore its economic fortunes on its longer range domestic routes while the Avros continue to provide the lift capacity required by the mining companies.
