Dec 8, 2006 (newstodate): Supported by EBRD, Tajik Air has contracted Ernst & Young to provide consultancy on the carrier's operations with western-built aircraft.
The contract is part of the carrier's drive for modernisation, including replacement of ageing Russian-built aircraft.
The carrier is in a transition period, marked by a steady decline in the country's commercial air transport.
During the first six months of 2006, air passenger volumes declined by 17.6 percent to a total of 206,100 pax, while air cargo dropped 31.3 percent in volumes to a total of 1,4500 tonnes, according to official statistics.
The airline has still not announced its decision which aircraft types will be selected for its future fleet structure, but sources indicate that Boeing 737 is in the lead.
