Airline Start-Ups: Mongolian Airlines to operate Fokker 50s

Mongolian Airlines is reported to have taken delivery, on lease from Nordic Aviation Capital A/S, on 10 November 2011 of a Fokker 50 (reg JU-8881, serial 20183 ). The question arising is which Mongolian carrier is going to operate the aircraft, which displays a previously unseen colour scheme unlike that of either the national flag carrier MIAT Mongolian Airlines, or that of existing Fokker 50 operator Aero Mongolia. A rebranding by Aero Mongolia seems most likely, but the third possibility is that Mongolian Airlines is a new start-up carrier. There is a new  website address at : http//:www.mongolian airlines.com, but it currently says nothing more than "coming soon".
