A working meeting was held in Istanbul between the management of Kyrgyzstan Airports and Bilal Ekşi, Chairman of the Board of Turkish Airlines, with the support of the Consulate General of Kyrgyzstan in Istanbul. This was reported by Manasbek Samidinov, Chairman of the Board of Kyrgyzstan Airports.
The Turkish side stated its readiness to cooperate with Kyrgyzstan’s state-owned airline Asman Airlines and announced plans to increase the number of passenger and cargo flights.
