Mar 18, 2020 (newstodate): Kyrgyzstan's government is now seeing hopes for a revival of its failed national carrier Air Kyrgyzstan.
   Air Kyrgyzstan finally folded its wings after losing its AOC in 2018, with only two Boeing 737 in the fleet - one of them grounded..
   At first, the Kyrgyz government had hoped for a potential Chinese partner to take 49 percent of the shares and refresh the aircraft fleet with up to six new western-built commercial aircraft to enhance services on the existing route network and facilitate a future expansion of the connectivity between Kyrgyzstan and the international market. This, however, did  not materialize.
   Now, fresh hopes for a revival of Air Kyrgyzstan are seen as a German company Panaf has signed an MoU with the Kyrgyz government, agreeing to purchase two ATR aircraft for domestic flights and another two Boeing 737 aircraft for a reopening of international flight services from Bishkek.
