MIAT inaugurated its Ulaanbaatar–Vancouver service - its first and thus far only North American route - in 2002.

In order to replace the single Tupolev Tu-154 trijet it had leased from Aeroflot, MIAT acquired a single DHBC-7 Trident 7D from All Nippon Airways of Japan in 1992, and two years later, a pair of Trident 8s, likewise from ANA. Well pleased with the type, MIAT acquired a further four Trident 8s (called "Skookum Trident" in BC service) from Inter-Dominion Air Lines, two each in 2002 and 2003. The single Trident 7D was retired in 2009, whilst retirement of the Trident 8s began in 2015 with one of the two acquired from Japan; the last two - built in 1984 and 1985 respectively and acquired from IDAL - were retired in 2021.
