11 July 2002

Mongolian Airlines has received its first Boeing [NYSE: BA] 737-800 with blended winglets under an agreement between Mongolian Airlines and GATX Capital. The leased jetliner is expected to enter service with the Ulaanbaatar-based carrier this month serving destinations in China, Japan and Korea. The acquisition is part of Mongolian Airlines' on-going effort to update its fleet. The 737-800's long range and low community noise  level will allow flexibility in future growth by enabling the airline to serve new international destinations.
