Aero Nomad (KA, Bishkek) will add an A330-200 to its fleet in 2024, becoming the only Kyrgyz carrier to operate a Western-built passenger widebody jet.
The airline hinted that it would use the aircraft for flights to long-haul leisure destinations such as Thailand, Viet Nam, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Istanbul, and Antalya, although it said that specific details would be revealed in due time. Aero Nomad did not respond to ch-aviation's request for more information on the identity of the aircraft, which will be configured for up to 293 passengers in a dual-class layout.
The ch-aviation fleets module shows that Aero Nomad currently operates four A320-200s on a scheduled network out of Bishkek and Osh International, connecting the two cities with destinations in Russia, India, and Pakistan. The airline launched in late 2021.
The widebody aircraft currently operated by airlines in the Central Asian country are limited to Il-76, A300, and B747-200(F) freighters.
