Turkmenistan Airlines, officially known as Türkmenhowaýollary, is the flag carrier and national airline of Turkmenistan. Founded in 1992 following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it operates international and domestic routes from its main base at Ashgabat International Airport. The airline is state-owned and operates under the oversight of the Turkmenistan government. It serves destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, though its international network remains relatively limited compared to larger regional carriers.
