About Turkmenistan Airlines

Turkmenistan Airlines is the flag carrier and national airline of Turkmenistan, operating under IATA code T5 and ICAO code TUA. The airline is headquartered at Ashgabat International Airport (ASB), which also serves as its primary hub. As a state-owned carrier, Turkmenistan Airlines operates domestic and international scheduled passenger and cargo services on behalf of the Government of Turkmenistan.

The airline was founded on 4 May 1992, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union and Turkmenistan's declaration of independence. In 1992, Turkmenistan Airlines made history by becoming the first airline in the former Soviet Union to purchase a Boeing 737-300. In April 1993, Turkmenistan became a full member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Today, the airline operates an all-Boeing fleet and serves over 20 destinations across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Airline Overview and History

From its founding in 1992, Turkmenistan Airlines has grown from a Soviet-era domestic operator into an international carrier with a modern all-Boeing fleet. Key milestones include:

• 4 May 1992: Turkmenistan Airlines was officially founded following Turkmenistan's independence from the Soviet Union.
• 1992: Became the first airline in the former Soviet Union to acquire a Boeing 737-300, signalling a decisive move toward Western-built commercial aircraft.
• April 1993: Turkmenistan became a full member of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
• March 2014: Announced the acquisition of Boeing 777-200LR long-haul aircraft, commencing new services to Bangkok, Beijing, Birmingham, Delhi, and Istanbul.
• 2022: Resumed a broad range of international services — including Istanbul, Kazan, Moscow, Dubai, Frankfurt, and Abu Dhabi — following pandemic-related disruptions.
• 2025: Continued to expand the European network with services to London, Milan, and Frankfurt, alongside growing Southeast Asian routes to Bangkok, Beijing, and Ho Chi Minh City.
• 14 July 2025: Launched a new scheduled service between Ashgabat and Seoul, South Korea, operated by Boeing 777.

The airline's sole hub is Ashgabat International Airport (ASB), the main international gateway of Turkmenistan. Ashgabat, the capital city, is known for its distinctive white marble architecture and serves as the country's political and economic centre.

Fleet and Aircraft

Turkmenistan Airlines operates an all-Boeing fleet, reflecting a long-standing preference for aircraft from the American manufacturer. The current fleet includes:

• Boeing 777-200LR: The airline's flagship long-haul jet, used on routes to Bangkok, Birmingham, Beijing, Delhi, Seoul, and other long-range destinations. The 777-200LR (Long Range variant) is one of the world's longest-range commercial aircraft.
• Boeing 757-200: A mid-range narrowbody jet deployed on medium-haul international routes including European and Middle Eastern destinations such as Frankfurt and Moscow.
• Boeing 737 (various series): The core of the short and medium-haul fleet, used on domestic services within Turkmenistan and shorter international routes across Central Asia.

Turkmenistan Airlines operates a dry airline policy, meaning no alcoholic beverages are served on any flight. The airline's fleet is maintained in compliance with ICAO Annex 6 airworthiness standards and is subject to regular technical audits.
