TAJIKSTAN INTERNATIONAL AIRLINES (TIA)

L-1011 flights operated by Air Ops.

In early 1995, Air Ops got a contract with TIA to operate between London Heathrow and Delhi, India with a fuelstop in Dushanbe, Tajikstan (and sometimes in Istanbul, Turkey as well....).There was one flight per week. The flights were made with several different aircrafts of the Air Ops fleet and that is the reason why they sometimes had TIA titles. The contract was cancelled in mid-1995. Later on TIA leased (?) one L-1011-500 (serial no 1240) from TAP (Air Portugal) to operate the same service but that aircraft was returned (taken back ?) after less than a month. And if anyone thinks he has been to a bad runway, try going to Dushanbe......

Air Ops does not exist any longer so there will probably not be any major updates.
