The possibility of establishing air services between the Astrakhan region and Turkmenistan on the Astrakhan-Ashgabat and Astrakhan-Turkmenbashi routes is being studied. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Astrakhan region Vladimir Golovkov at a meeting with journalists on January 15, 2025, during a discussion of issues related to the development of international air services in the region. Golovkov also noted that Iran is another important route, but unfortunately, Russian carriers are not currently interested in this route. However, negotiations are underway with Iranian companies.
