History
Turkmenistan Airlines was founded in 1992.
Since 2001, the airline has been phasing out its aging Soviet-era fleet to make way for a modern fleet of Boeing 717's, which are extensively used for service on domestic routes. Turkmenistan was the first of the former Soviet republics to purchase aircraft from Boeing since 1992.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
