Turkmenistan
Airlines
Turkmenistan has seven airports, of which four have permanent-surface
runways between 1,200 and 2,500 meters in length. The main international
airport in Ashgabat includes a new terminal complex constructed
by companies from Turkey, the United States, the United Kingdom,
and Germany. Plans call for using Boeing aircraft alongside the
current stock of Aeroflot aircraft belonging to Turkmenistan Air
Lines. Current routes provide service to China, India, Pakistan,
Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Slovakia,
and Italy. The two other international facilities, located at
Chärjew and Dashhowuz, serve mostly flights within Central Asia.
Local airports also exist at Mary, Nebitdag, and other locales.
The national administration of Turkmenistan Civil Aviation has
been admitted as a member of the International Commercial Aviation
Organization. Membership enables Turkmenistan Airlines to have
its routes entered into all major airline computer terminals and
scheduling references and thus to issue international airline
tickets.
