AFP: Japan firms to build Mongolian international airport: "TOKYO — Two Japanese companies said on Monday they will build Mongolia's second international airport as Tokyo steps up business ties with the mineral-rich country.
Trading house Mitsubishi Corp and engineering firm Chiyoda Corp said in a statement that they had been awarded the construction contract worth 50 billion yen ($493 million) by the Civil Aviation Authority of Mongolia.
Work on the new airport, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) outside the capital Ulan Bator, would start later this year, they said."
