Tajik national air carrier Tajik Air has reportedly been forced to make changes to its January flight schedule for commercial reasons (unprofitability of some flights).

Thus, the Dushanbe-Moscow flight scheduled for 11:10 pm on January 2 has been postponed until January 6.

According to Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport, the Dushanbe-Moscow flight scheduled for 11:40 pm on January 3 has also been postponed.   

Meanwhile, Tajik Air’s press center says the company has been forced to make some changes to its January flight schedule for commercial reasons (unprofitability of some flights)  

The company started operations on September 3, 1924 as Tajik Aviation. Its first route was Bukhara to Dushanbe, served by Junkers F-13 aircraft.  It is the sixth oldest airline still in operation.

Tajik Air now serves the following destinations: China (Urumqi); India (New Delhi); Iran (Tehran, Mashhad); Kazakhstan (Almaty); Kyrgyzstan (Bishkek); Russia (Moscow, Novosibirsk, St Petersburg, and Surgut); Tajikistan (Khorog and Khujand); and Uzbekistan (Samarqand).

The Tajik Air management is currently considering potential upgrade of its air fleet with aircraft of modern Western technology.

Until 2008, Tajik Air had an absolute monopoly in Tajikistan’s air transport, owning all planes, airports, and airport and flight services.  As a result of restructuring, Tajik Air was split up into several separate companies.
