Air Bishkek (Russian: Эйр Бишкек) is an airline based in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan,[2] with its operational base at Manas International Airport. It was founded in 2004 as Kyrgyz Airways and renamed in 2006. In 2011 the airline was again rebranded into Air Bishkek.[3] Due to alleged poor safety standards in Kyrgyzstan, the airline has been included in the List of air carriers banned in the European Union since 12 October 2006.[4][5]
