If we consider all Kyrgyz airlines as a whole, and there are as many as 25 of them in the republic, then the leading position of the state carrier immediately catches the eye. That's what it's called - Kyrgizstan Airlines. Since a large diaspora from Kyrgyzstan lives in Russia, which maintains regular contacts with their homeland, Moscow-Bishkek tickets are in high demand. And where else can you fly on the liners of Kyrgizstan Airlines? What is the air fleet of this main air carrier of the country? Our article will tell about this.
History of Kyrgyz Airlines
When the global economic crisis struck, the air travel situation in this Central Asian republic worsened. Despite the fact that there were 25 airlines in Kyrgyzstan, three of which operated flights to Moscow, the profitability of flights itself was low. Therefore, the country's leadership decided to radically change the current situation for the better.side. The way out of the predicament was seen in the merger of two airlines - "Kyrgyzstan Aba Zholdoru" and "Altyn Air". As a result of such a merger, the state national air transportation company "Kyrgyz Airlines" was born. It is based in the capital of the republic, in the city of Bishkek. Its headquarters is Manas International Airport. From there, the company's liners operate foreign and domestic flights.
Kyrgyz Airlines Air Fleet
Most of the fleet of the state-owned company is equipped with Russian-made aircraft. Domestic flights are served by TU-134 and TU-154, as well as Il-76, Yak-40, An-24, An-26 and An-28. Naturally, international flights, especially long-distance flights, are carried out on more comfortable ships. For this purpose, the Kyrgyz Airlines purchased Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. But Tu-154s are also connected to long-haul flights, the technical parameters of which make it possible to overcome the path from Central Asia to the states of America and Western Europe. The national airline of Kyrgyzstan is thinking of purchasing larger aircraft in the future, as flights to Russia are quite in demand.
Where can I get with the "Kyrgyz Airlines"?
From Manas International Airport (Bishkek), the company's planes fly to 15 settlements. The territory of the republic is quite small, so there are only three directions within the country.

Reviews
Kyrgyz Airlines is in great demand among those who make frequent trips to Russia. And this despite the fact that liners of other companies, including Russian ones, fly in these directions. Aeroflot, S7 Airlines, Pegasus, Ural Airlines, as well as Kyrgyz carriers Avia Traffic Company, Air Kyrgyzstan and Air Bishkek fly only on the Bishkek-Moscow route. Why do travelers choose from the many offers of Kyrgyz Airlines? Basically, the frequency of flights plays a role here. In Moscow, for example, liners depart twice a day. Amenities on board also matter. During short flights, they carry mineral water and treat them with candies. And if you fly long distances, then you will be fed quite decently.
