Otherwise measures would be taken to suspend charter flights, Director at the Civil Aviation Agency of the Republic of Tajikistan Ikrom Subkhonzoda said.
On April 22, Director at the Civil Aviation Agency of the Republic of Tajikistan Ikrom Subkhonzoda held an emergency meeting with Transport Prosecutor Saidmurad Kodirzoda and the representatives of the Russian airlines – Ural Airlines, UTair, Siberia and North Wind to discuss high airline ticket prices, the ASIA-Plus News Agency reports.
Subkhonzoda demanded that these Russian airlines lower airline ticket prices for the flights from Tajikistan to Russia within two days. He said the current situation forced citizens to take bank loans, which had a negative impact on their financial status.
