Ashgabat, Turkmenistan, April 2. The volume of
Turkmenistan’s transit cargo from 2015 to the first quarter of 2025
amounted to 417,340 tons, and the number of transit aircraft
landings exceeded 5,960, Trend reports.
One of the key milestones in this process was the signing of an
intergovernmental agreement on air transport between Turkmenistan
and Luxembourg in April 2015. This allowed the largest European
airline, Cargolux, to establish cargo flights on the
Luxembourg–Turkmenbashi route.
The project to create modern airports in the country continues.
After the opening of the international airport in Kerki, Lebap
province, the construction of a new airport in Balkan province is
in its final stages. These efforts are contributing to the
improvement of international passenger and cargo
transportation.
Turkmenistan is actively developing international transport
corridors such as Europe–Caucasus–Asia (TRACECA) and
Afghanistan–Turkmenistan–Azerbaijan–Georgia–Turkey, which confirms
the strengthening of its international standing.
Turkmenistan is also preparing to modernize the wagon cleaning
complex at the Turkmenbashi railway station in Balkan province.
