Turkmenistan Airlines’ inaugural flight from Ashgabat to Kuala Lumpur last week serves as a springboard for Malaysia to explore the Central Asia and Russia tourism markets.

Tourism Malaysia International Promotions (Americas/Europe/Oceania) senior director Iskandar Mirza Mohd Yusof said Turkmenistan Airlines is the second airlines from Central Asia after Uzbekistan Airways, with direct flights to KL.
