That’s certainly and interring one , I found a reference to once a week flights from 20 March on a Russian language site but could find no flights for sales on the Turkmenistan airlines website or in the GDS, also saw nothing in the Stansted website, you happen to have the link / source ?

Ok nice so found the below link which will need to be translated
https://turkmenportal.com/blog/58416...nii-v-ashhabad
According to the Stansted airport schedule looks like Wednesday flights after an initial Monday flight
T5421 arriving @ 15:50
T5422 departing @ 17:50
no idea on equipment though, I will have to give that one a try

This is scheduled to start from the 29th of March with the passenger service on a B777-200LR running Wednesdays, but a cargo joins as well during May and the passenger service moves to operating on a Monday with the cargo taking the Wednesday slot on a A330-200F. The flight numbers will change with the cargo flight taking TF431/432.
Very much hope both services will begin, think the cargo service is more likely.

Thanks for the Info, you have a source?
777 will be a good addition, nice to get some more long haul equip in , imagine the 777 passenger flight will actually also be able to offer 10 ton of ad hoc cargo sales space too.
As for the A330, again a nice addition, i remember when they used to operate an IL76 in for cargo on an ad hoc basis

I would think the route would have been via Ukrainian airspace which is obviously not available currently and they found it hard to fill a 737-800.
A 777 with a big belly makes more sense as I cannot see pax demand being too high.
I'm struggling to think of what cargo might be travelling between Ashgabat and London.... never mind thinking about pax now that T5 closed their routes to India. The UK and Turkmenistan have very limited cultural links between each other. UK exports to Turkmenistan are minimal. Turkmenistan's main export is gas via pipelines. Tourism to Turkmenistan is difficult and small in numbers

These T5 flight numbers are the same used on its long running BHX - ASB route that started in the late 90's , stopped briefly after 9/11 then stopped again in 2020 due to the pandemic. It was operated up to 4 times weekly (using 737 initially, then 757 and 777) and survived almost solely on connecting pax to ATQ and DEL. If T5 have no onward connections to India from ASB anymore as reported, I really don't see how this will work for T5 unless it's primarily for cargo. Having said that, with AI starting at LGW and rumours of a second daily service at BHX, if T5 were to start offering India connections again, STN would be a good choice to avoid the might of a resurgent AI, although they did happily co-exist at BHX for a number of years.

Correct. Operators from Turkmenistan were included on the EU Safety List and were therefore banned from flying to the EU, including the UK. That is no longer the case.
Interestingly, Moldova is on the UK's Safety List with (currently) only Air Moldova, Fly One and AeroTrans Cargo exempted from the ban.

from the 29 march moves to a Wednesday service but looks to be a 737 which is a shame

weirdly enough LHR still showing in the system albeit with 0 availability on a 757 so this I assume will soon be removed once availability is loaded for STN

One of FlyPOP’s A333’s is currently en route BYJ - STN.
flying under Hi Fly HFM450P.
Reg 9H-PTP.
Eta 20.49 local time.
Not sure how long it will be on the ground, or the reason for its visit, or for that matter where it will be heading next.
Has anyone at STN heard anymore Regarding Scheduled operations starting in the near future.
