[edit] History
In 2004, the Newcom Group, had initiated extensive research and project study on the feasibility of starting up new domestic air transport services. Based on the research it founded Eznis Airways in February 2006 as its fully owned subsidiary. Eznis has been granted Air Operator Certificate (AOC) No. 11 by Mongolian Civil Aviation Authority (MCAA)[1]. Eznis later launched its service on December 6, 2006.[citation needed]
Core members of the startup team were Mr O. Bar-Orshikh, Mr S. Bayarsaikhan, Mr Ya. Soronzonbold, Mr T. Otgonbayar and Mrs L. Bayarmaa led by Mr L. Oyunbat, a former CEO of the Newcom Group.
