Turkmenistan Airlines was formed when the USSR collapsed, to take the place of the local branch of Aeroflot. Today, it features a rather young and modern fleet made of Boeing 777, Boeing 757 and B737NG. Though, the airline website is very basic and lacks of many info normally reported to passengers and the airline is one of the few in the world not having a frequent flyer programme. Prior to Vovid, its network spanned from the UK, France and Germany in Europe to the Middle East and Asia, as far as Beijing and Bangkok. In February 2019, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) suspended Turkmenistan Airlines’ permission to fly in the EU for safety concerns. This forced the airline to terminate its routes to the United Kingdom, France and Germany but the ban was uplifted in December and flights resumed after a 10-month break (Photo Wikimedia Commons / Mark Harkin)
