Properties

Buyant Ukhaa airport is the scale size of a one third of a regular airport in the United States. The airport has two runways making it impossible for a large number of airliners to land at the airport in a short amount of time. Buyant Ukhaa airport has two different sections: one for boarding flights, which is the new section of the airport and one for cargo, which is the older section of the airport. There are only a few number of gates at Buyant Ukhaa, which explains why there aren't that many flights. There is one hanger at Buyant Ukhaa airport, however it does not meet the size standards of regular hangers around the modern world. The area of which Buyant Ukhaa is at is pretty isolated from Ulan Bator making it hard to enter without a vehicle.
