Doroud, good sence of humor, " In one way however the tajik airlines have an advantage; they provoke passengers to pray for their life for a good couple of hours" :-). Anyway, our airline is not too bad ;), though it needs to be improved....much... It is first time, when I visit this web site, I found it very interesting :), thanks for good articles!

In one way however the tajik airlines have an advantage; they provoke passengers to pray for their life for a good couple of hours, but overall, Good News!! I hope the boeing thing doesn't become a source of incompetence for the pilots as Tajik Boy says it. Finally able to fly to TJ without getting a good dose of vibromassage.

You either lease it or you purchase it. These are two different types of financial transactions with differring sets of rights and obligations for each party. If purchased (even through debt financing) the ownership right is transferred to the buyer (so are underlying obligations). The lease (operating lease) however means that you have the right to operate the aircraft without the ownership right. Vadim,

Things did seem to improve just a tiny bit. But hey, how do you eat an elephant (perhaps dinosaur)? One bite at a time! I heard that in 2008 the Tajik government will announce a tender to privatize the airline. Didn't think I would live to see that! On hygene: HB has a point. Perhaps the strongest one. I suppressed my urge to throw up many times during the short 4 hour flight as one of the passengers sitting behind me took off his shoes. He wasn't a bit guy but I was polite enough not to expose his stinkiness to the whole plane (should have been obvious though). On Safety: Tajik Airlines never (repeat never) had a crash unlike say Armavia (the Armenian airline with Airbuses).. Cause? Pilot error. My advice? If you are flying to Tajikistan have a choice, try to fly on the board of the equipment pilots know best Soviet Tu-154/134. That is unless you know for sure that the pilot has been flying Boeings for a long time. It would take time to teach (not so young) Tajik pilots how to fly a totally new aircraft. haha… well I was there just a while ago. Things did seem to improve just a tiny bit.

He was a big guy so I didn't say anything even though I was totally shocked by the whole thing. Finally a flight attendant came around asking if anyone was smoking to which my guy said no. Also everything on Tajik Air planes is permeated with dirt and bacteria. Basically Tajik Air planes are ginormous flying garbage cans that are liable to crash at any moment. Actually the caustoms got a little better, so thanks to whomever was responsible for that.
