The expanded agreement marks the first time direct air service between Canada and Mongolia will be permitted.

"Mongolia is an emerging market and I'm pleased to see this expanded air transport agreement, which will unlock exciting new opportunities for travellers and businesses in both our countries," said MacKinnon.

The original Canada-Mongolia Air Transport Agreement was signed in 2018. This is the first time it has been expanded.

Canada currently has air transport agreements or arrangements covering more than 125 countries as part of its ongoing efforts to increase international connectivity.
