History

Air Manas was founded in 2006 in Bishkek. First flight of Air Manas was carried out in December 2009. In June 2012, 49% of the air company was bought by a Turkish Pegasus Airlines. The first flight under the brand name Pegasus Asia was operated from Bishkek to Istanbul on 22 March 2013 .[2] Now the airline operates domestic flights between Bishkek to Osh, as well as international flights from Kyrgyzstan to India, Russia, Turkey and China.

Rebirth

The efforts of the Kyrgyz Government to attract foreign investments had borne fruit: mutual visits of high-level governmental delegations gave a serious impetus to bilateral trade relations between Turkey and Kyrgyzstan. Thus, at the end of 2012 in the basis of pre-existing airline, a new Kyrgyz airline with the same name of "Air Manas" was created, being 51% owned by the Kyrgyz side and 49% by newly attracted strategic partner Pegasus Airlines, one of the leading air companies in Europe.

The base airport for Air Manas, is the main airport - International Airport Manas, located near Bishkek. In its fleet, Air Manas uses an Airbus A220, and it formerly operated Boeing 737-400 and 737-800 NG.

Air Manas has its own certified aviation-technical base for the operational maintenance of aircraft. Despite the lack of any incidents, the airline along with all airlines based in Kyrgyzstan are on the list of air carriers banned in the European Union.
