Turkmenistan
Index
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.
