Iranian air company, Varesh Airlines, has begun operating flights from Tehran to Dushanbe and the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek, according to the Iranian Embassy in Dushanbe.
The first flight on the air route Tehran-Dushanbe-Bishkek-Tehran Bishkek was reportedly operated on February 3. Varesh Airlines’ flights on this air route are expected to be operated once a week – on Mondays.
Recall, Tajik Air resumed its roundtrip flights from Tajikistan to Iran in August last year. Dushanbe – Mashhad – Dushanbe flights were operated twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays. However, Tajik national air carrier later stopped its flights.
Tajikistan – Iran flights were previously resumed in early June 2019 after an almost annual suspension. On June 6, Varesh Airlines, Iran, made its first flight en route Mashhad – Dushanbe – Mashhad. Varesh Airlines’ flights on this air route are operated once a week – on Thursdays.
Mashhad – Dushanbe – Mashhad regular flights were previously carried out by Aseman Airlines, Iran. These flights were stopped at the end of September 2018 at the initiative of the Iranian side due to low profitability and low volatility in the foreign exchange market. From the Tajik side, flights to Iran were operated by Tajik Air, which also stopped its flights in January last year due to financial problems.
Varesh Airlines is an Iranian scheduled carrier serving the Mazandaran Province. The airline operates regular services to international and domestic destinations using a fleet of narrowbody aircraft. It commenced operations on October 8, 2018, with services to Tehran and Mashhad.
