The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia intend to develop civil aeronautics and air commerce safety through technical assistance and training through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signed on June 16, 2011. This formal bilateral relationship, the first of its kind between the two countries, is an opportunity to enhance safety and improve system capacity in Mongolia. Aviation is an important element of the Government of Mongolia’s efforts to broaden ties within the region and around the world for the landlocked country.  The FAA may provide technical and managerial expertise to assist Mongolia in developing, modernizing, operating and maintaining its civil aviation infrastructure, standards, procedures, policies, training and equipment, as well as provide training to personnel from Mongolia under the MOA.
