Tajik Air is the flag carrier of Tajikistan, tracing its origins to the Soviet-era Aeroflot operations in the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic. Following the dissolution of the USSR, the airline was established as an independent carrier to serve the newly independent nation's aviation needs.
The airline operates domestic routes within Tajikistan as well as international services to destinations in Russia, the Middle East, and neighboring Central Asian countries. It has historically served as the primary air link for Tajikistan's population to the wider world.
Tajik Air has faced significant operational and financial challenges over the years, including aging fleet issues and competition from newer regional carriers. The airline's operations have at times been restricted by aviation safety authorities in the European Union due to safety concerns.
Hubs & network
Tajik Air operates primarily out of Dushanbe International Airport, the main international gateway of Tajikistan.
Fleet
Tajik Air has historically operated Soviet-era aircraft including Tupolev Tu-154 and Yakovlev Yak-40 variants.
