Starting from February 3, 2025, flights from Dushanbe to Tehran are operated at updated times, providing passengers with even more convenience when planning their travel, says press release issued by the airline.
Thus, flights are carried out not in the evening, as was the case before, but in the daytime. Departure time from Dushanbe is at 10:00, from Tehran – at 12:50 local time.
In addition, starting from March 5, 2025, Somon Air will introduce an additional frequency of flights on this route on Wednesdays. This will allow passengers to travel more frequently between Tajikistan and Iran. Departure from Dushanbe is at 14:00, from Tehran – at 16:50 local time. Travel time from Dushanbe to Tehran is 2 hours 50 minutes, in the opposite direction – 2 hours 30 minutes.
Thus, starting from March 5, Somon Air will operate flights to Tehran twice a week – on Mondays and Wednesdays. The airline uses Boeing 737-800 and Boeing 737-900 aircraft to operate these flights.
As it had been reported last week, Tehran and Dushanbe have reached a bilateral agreement to waive visa requirements for air travelers. The initiative aims to strengthen diplomatic, cultural, and economic ties between the two countries and help promote people-to-people exchanges.
The agreement comes less than two weeks after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visited Tajikistan.
Somon Air is the first private airline in Tajikistan with an office headquartered in Dushanbe. The airline operations are based at Dushanbe International Airport. The airline started operating on February 5, 2008 with regular flights to Moscow and Dubai.
Somon Air also serves as the official carrier of the President of Tajikistan and other Tajikistan high-ranking officials.
Somon Air is a member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Somon Air's fleet consists of Boeing 737-800 and 737-900 family aircraft.
The company is focused on expanding the route network of air transportation and the fleet, and currently operates regular flights from Tajikistan to Germany, the UAE, Turkiye, China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
