    Tajikistan and China take off together with new direct flights

    DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, September 16. The new
    direct flights between Xi’an and Dushanbe, connecting Tajikistan
    and China, have been launched, Trend reports via the Civil Aviation Agency under the
    Government of Tajikistan.

    The route, operated by China’s Zhejiang Loong Air, will run
    twice a week – on Tuesdays and Fridays.

    Meanwhile, two other direct routes, Beijing–Dushanbe–Beijing and
    Kashgar–Khujand–Kashgar, have also been launched, reflecting
    growing aviation ties between Tajikistan and China.

    Tajikistan officially adopted the “open skies” regime on June
    12, 2025, removing previous restrictions based on reciprocity. The
    new policy lifts limits on flight frequency, aircraft type, seating
    capacity, and pricing for foreign airlines operating at the
    country’s four international airports – in Dushanbe, Khujand,
    Kulob, and Bokhtar.

    Loong Air is a Chinese airline founded in 2011 as a cargo
    carrier. In 2013, the airline expanded into the passenger segment.
    Its headquarters and main hub, Xiaoshan International Airport, are
    located in Hangzhou.
