Oct 17, 2018 (newstodate): Risk-willing investors looking for a new opening in the aviation business might find state-owned Tajik Air an interesting case.
The airline is in dire needs of investments, operating at heavy debts and with a basically obsolete aircraft fleet of 34 units, including three rotary-wing aircraft.
Of the total number of aircraft, only four are in good shape, six are on ground with maintenance problems, and 21 are stored. As for the three helicopters, only one is operational.
The Tajik state is now mulling plans for putting the entire stake in the airline up for sale to an investor willing to re-shape the airline and invest in new aircraft.
The state intends to scrap 23 old aircraft and sell equipment including engines, parts and components.
In H1, 2018, Tajik Air transported 152,000 passengers, which is 16 percent of all passengers at Tajik airports.
