Turkmenistan pays $120 mln for new Boeing jets
|
Turkmenistan, a long-isolated Central Asian state, has ordered two new Boeing passenger jets for a total of $120 million in cash, according to a government decree published on Wednesday.
Turkmenistan, unlike many other former Soviet states, has used its natural gas export revenues to replace its entire fleet of ageing Russian-made jets with Western-assembled aircraft since gaining independence from Moscow in 1992.
According to the decree published by the state media, Turkmenistan Airlines will buy two new Boeing 737-900ER midrange planes. It gave no other details of the deal.
Isolated under Soviet rule and then the two-decade reign of former President Saparmurat Niyazov, the nation is now trying to open up and attract foreign investment under its more reformist leader, Kurbanguly Berdymukhamedov.
