The order represents the Dushanbe-based carrier's first direct order from the manufacturer and Boeing's fourth confirmed purchase this year. It also has sold 25 787-8s to United Airlines, 10 737-800s to Ethiopian Airlines and 20 more 737s to an unidentified customer.
Somon was Tajikistan's first privately held full-service airline and currently operates two 737-800s to destinations in its home country, Russia, Germany, Turkey and the UAE. Board member Sherali Kabirov said the new aircraft will allow the carrier "to broaden our network in the region." No delivery date was announced.
