Thursday 19th March 2026

ACIA Aero Leasing (“ACIA”), a leading provider of regional aircraft leasing and lease management services, announced today the delivery of an ATR 72-600 passenger aircraft on lease to Chingis Airlines Unity in Mongolia.

Chingis Airlines Unity are owned by the NOMIN Group, one of Mongolia’s largest and most diversified private companies. Founded in 1992 the NOMIN Group has grown into a major conglomerate with business subsidiaries across retail, trade & distribution, banking & insurance, construction & real estate, IT and now aviation. The group has a large footprint of retail outlets across Mongolia ranging from hypermarkets and supermarkets through to local bank branches and retail outlets. It employs over 6,000 people and plays a key role in the growing Mongolian economy.

Chingis Airlines Unity has been established to improve regional connectivity across the vast geographical expanse of Mongolia where the population density is often thin and remote. In addition, they will utilise the exceptional performance capabilities of the ATR72-600 to operate into unpaved runways, particularly in support of the fast-growing mining sector.

“We are delighted to add Chingis Airlines Unity to our growing portfolio of lessees, as they open regional connectivity across Mongolia. The services they will operate are in the best definition of true essential services and the ATR is the most economical solution to service this important mission. The country is also going through a rapid transformation, as its economy grows, not least through the expansion of the highly important, but largely untapped, mining sector,” stated Mick Mooney, ACIA’s Chief Executive Officer.
