Somon Air is the first private airline in Tajikistan headquartered in Dushanbe[2] and based at Dushanbe International Airport.
History
The airline started operating on 5 February 2008 with regular flights to Moscow. Somon Air also serves as the official carrier of President of the Republic of Tajikistan and other Tajikistan high-ranking officials.[citation needed] Since its formation, Somon Air has been primarily focused on passenger service and transportation to Eastern Europe and other locations.[citation needed] Most flights to international destinations operate from Dushanbe.[citation needed]
In early August 2009, Somon Air joined IATA’s (International Air Transport Association) IATA Billing and Settlement Plan.[citation needed] As of January 2013, the airline participates in 14 BSP countries. BSP is a settlement system designed to simplify the selling, reporting and remitting procedures between passenger sales agents and airlines globally.[3] In April 2013, Somon Air jointed the IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement (MITA). The IATA Multilateral Interline Traffic Agreement (MITA) is an agreement where passengers and cargo use a standard traffic document on various transportation modes to reach the final destination on a particular routing.[4] In June 2013, Somon Air became the member of IATA Clearing House which provides a service for settling of interline accounts, airline-associated companies and travel partners.[4][3]
In September 2017, Somon Air obtained the IATA membership.[4][3] Somon Air is working on signing interline agreements with some of major airlines from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), Europe and Asia.[4]

Fleet development
Somon Air purchased one Boeing 787-8 at Dubai Air Show for further fleet development. The aircraft was delivered in March 2018.[7] The 787 is currently stored, but the company still wants to launch wide-body flights this year with a 767-300ER.[8][9] The airline is considering the purchase of four Embraer 190-E2, to replace older Boeing 737 Classic aircraft. The airline planned to commence service of the new Embraers by the end of 2018, but by January 2019 there had been no further announcement.[10]
