Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, June 27
By Huseyn Hasanov – Trend:
Turkmenistan is considering the issue to increase the number of existing regular cargo flights of the largest European airline Cargolux Airlines International S.A., the Turkmen government said in a message June 27.
Since June 2015, according to the agreement on air communication between Turkmenistan and Luxembourg, Cargolux Airlines is implementing eight flights per week on the route Luxembourg-Turkmenbashi.
At the recent governmental meeting Turkmenistan’s President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov outlined a number of measures that should ensure high profitability of the country's aviation. He said thanks to its favorable geographical location Turkmenistan can attract a considerable part of the Euro-Asian international freight traffic.
This is also the aim of the national transport and logistics network’s expansion program, which will increase the speed of delivery and improve the freight management process.
“It is necessary to use all existing opportunities to confirm the status of our country as one of the major international transport hubs,” said Berdimuhamedov.
