Wamos Air has stepped in to operate Turkmenistan Airlines flights between the UK and India after the airline was blacklisted by the European Air Safety Agency (Easa) on safety grounds.

The move by Easa earlier this week effectively forced the airline to suspend its flights to and from the EU. The CAA subsequently withdrew the airline’s operating licence on Easa’s advice.


Turkmenistan operated flights from Heathrow and Birmingham to Amritsar, and Heathrow to Delhi via Ashgabat.


Now, though, the CAA has confirmed “some services” to and from the UK had been restored, with flights operated by Spanish carrier Wamos.
