Air Manas

Air Manas was a Kyrgyz airline with its headquarters in Bishkek. It operated scheduled domestic and international passenger services, as well as cargo transportation. Its main base of operations was Manas International Airport (FRU) in Bishkek. The airline was founded in 2003 and ceased operations in 2017.

Air Manas initially operated under the name Manas Airways. In 2012, it partnered with Turkish Pegasus Airlines and rebranded as Air Manas. As part of this partnership, the airline adopted a low-cost carrier model and introduced Boeing 737 aircraft to its fleet.

The airline faced financial difficulties in its later years, which ultimately led to its shutdown. A contributing factor to the financial problems was intense competition in the Kyrgyz aviation market.
