context_page_description: Eznis Airways LLC is a scheduled and charter airline based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. It was once the largest domestic airline with services to a number of Mongolian domestic points and an international route to Hong Kong and Russia. It also had authorization for, but did not operate, international services to Kazakhstan. The airline initially ceased all operations in 2014, but in 2019 it restarted operations. The company slogan is Fly easy, Fly smart!
context_section_description: As of September 2019, Eznis Airways fleet consists of the following aircraft:
  In January 2009, the CEO of the airline Glen Pickard, stated that Eznis Airways signed a LoI with Bombardier Aerospace for the purchase of seven Bombardier CSeries aircraft, although this was never reported as official by Bombardier.
  The airline made the decision to introduce jet aircraft in early 2011 and two Avro RJ85 aircraft (both ex Lufthansa Cityline airframes) joined the fleet. The first was delivered from the UK in June 2011 (registered as JU-9909) with the second arriving in September 2011 (JU-9915). The aircraft were primarily destined to be used on charter flying to mining sites in the Gobi desert and were modified for operations on gravel runways. Both Avros remain in service although only one is now dedicated to the Ulaanbaatar - Oyut Tolgoi route. The aircraft were also used on services to the west of the country (Khovd, Ulaangom and Ulgii) but reducing load factors and unrealistic fare structures made the routes uneconomic for the RJs to operate. Consequently, the airline now looked to the Bombardier Dash8-Q400 to restore its economic fortunes on its longer range domestic routes while the Avros continue to provide the lift capacity required by the mining companies. The Q400s had their Danish registration cancelled by 2015 (OY-YAG repainted and now operates as S2-AGW for US-Bangla Airlines).
  The Boeing 737 venture was four-month exercise for the company. It was leased with a view to EZNIS opening international routes to Seoul, Beijing and Hong Kong. However, Eznis' access to international routes was denied thereby making the Boeing 737 project nonviable. Apart from operating a few charter flights, the aircraft never entered scheduled service.
